Welcome to the 26th WONCA Europe Virtual Conference Programme Scheduling

Abstract Body

1. Background

Migrants are mostly young and healthy people who do not usually represent any risk to the host community and its public health situation. However, nowadays the different barriers created by the states increase the plural risks of this population, a situation that the global pandemic has not improved. Cultural or language differences increases the risk of clinical error and leads to worse outcomes in our patients' health. As Primary Care professionals we should make some positive changes to arrive at an equal situation.

2. Aim and learning objectives

To face this reality, arises the need for training and updating on issues of international health systems and endemic disease, and acquiring cultural and communication skills.

3. Methods and timetable

We intend this session to be educational guide, with the aim of getting an integral attention to the migrant patients, across:

- The knowledge of emerging pathologies: through pub quizzes, or games in which clues are given to find the right pathology: 20 mins

- The social issues and the different ways of understanding the concept of health and illness: through role-playing and cases that we will analyze: 20 mins

- The necessary resources to improve their health care, such as health promotion, primary prevention, family planning, etc: through clinical cases of patients that have just arrived in our country giving the advice that we seem most appropriate: 20 mins

- Presentation (15 mins) and Conclusions (15 mins)

4. Conclusions

Family medicine is the first level of attention, where it is more likely to achieve an equitable and fair healthcare.
