Primary and Community Care
Prof. Dr. Maria van den Muijsenbergh (1956) is general practitioner for over 35 years and researcher at Radboud University Medical Centre Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and at Pharos, the Dutch centre of expertise on health disparities. Her chair on “health disparities and person centered integrated primary care” focusses on the possible contribution of primary care in reducing existing socio-economic and ethnic health disparities, and how healthcare best can be tailored to the needs of socially deprived patients, like migrants or persons with limited health literacy. To achieve this, person centred instead of disease centred healthcare is the key, with a focus on and in collaboration with the wider community, healthcare and social services – thus integrated care. She is member of the executive board of the European Forum for Primary Care (EFPC) and of the WONCA special interest group on migrant care and international medicine.

I studied psychology and worked in mental healthcare for a couple of years. Since 2017 I am doing educational research in the medical field. My PhD trajectory focuses on portfolio use by General Practitioners (GP) in training. We designed different studies to gain insight in the value of portfolio use for Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), i.e. does portfolio use help trainees to actively engage in learning during workplace-based learning. The study I will present during the WONCA conference used focus groups to gather the experiences of trainees, supervisors and faculty who work with the portfolio of the GP speciality training.

General practice
I’ve always combined my academic activities with working as a general practitioner until a few years ago. From October 2007 till November 2019, I’ve been head of the department of general practice (since 2012 general practice and elderly care medicine) at VU University medical center. Since January 2019, I’m head of the Division of Primary Care, Public and Occupational Health and Methodology of Amsterdam University Medical Centers (Amsterdam UMC). My main focus in research has been on medically unexplained symptoms, I’ve supervised many diagnostic and prognostic research projects, and a number of RCTs carried out in primary care, resulting in over 200 international peer reviewed papers. All our research is carried out within the Amsterdam Public Health research institute of Amsterdam UMC. I’ve contributed to, or chaired, a number of (multidisciplinary) guidelines and I have also chaired or participated in committees of the Dutch Health Council. I’ve written or contributed to over 40 books on various topics, both for health care professionals and lay people. In 2018, I chaired the committee who steered the process of redefining the core values and core tasks of Dutch family medicine. Since 2020 I'm chair of the supervisory board of the Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG).

Trudy van der Weijden received her medical degree in 1989 and certified as epidemiologist. In 2005, she was appointed as Program Leader of the research program 'Implementation of evidence' in the School Care and Public Health Research Institute (CAPHRI) of Maastricht University, and in 2010 as full professor in Implementation of Clinical Practice Guidelines at the department of Family Medicine. Her research has a specific focus on patient perspectives and patient participation in medical decision making where the tension is felt between standardising work (the application of guidelines) and patient-centred work (the preferences of the patient in the context of the consultation). In 1997 she received the CaRe Award 1997, the dissertation award of the Netherlands School of Primary Care Research. In 2010 she was awarded with a ZonMW (Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development) award for the IMPALA project “Shared Decision Making in lifestyle counseling”. In 2011 she chaired the International Conference on Shared Decision Making in Maastricht. She has (co-)authored over 260 international scientific papers in peer reviewed international journals. She has successfully supervised 38 doctoral graduate students.

I started my medicine study in 2014 en graduated last April 2021. During my science internship at the department of public health and primary care and the department of clinical genetics, hemoglobinopathies aroused my interest. During my internship I organised a study to quantify the problem of hemoglobinopathies in The Netherlands and I interviewed patients, carriers and GP's about their expierence with hemoglobinopathies. I really enjoyed my internship and I aspire to do more research about this topic!
