Dr. Andrée Rochfort is a defining voice for the health and sustainability of the medical workforce in Europe. As the Director of Quality Improvement and the Doctors' Health & Wellbeing Programme at the Irish College of GPs, she has dedicated over three decades to ensuring that the clinicians at the center of our health systems are as well-cared for as the patients they serve. A former President of EQuiP and a leading contributor to the European Definition of General Practice, her work bridges the gap between clinical excellence and physician resilience.
As we look forward to the EQuiP Conference 2026 in Krakow (May 21–23), we sat down with Dr. Rochfort to discuss the global workforce crisis, the "Quadruple Aim," and why attending a professional forum is more than just development—it is a vital "clinical intervention" for the modern GP.

WONCA Europe is deeply committed to tackling pressing health challenges, and this commitment was strongly reinforced at the recent EARLY Project consortium meeting, held in person on 21–22 November in Craiova, Romania.
WONCA Europe is a proud consortium partner in the EARLY Project. Our representative, Dr. Shlomo Vinker, immediate past WONCA Europe president, joined partners from across Europe to advance research and practical action on youth mental health. This project is particularly significant as WONCA Europe is the only Family Medicine organization actively involved, ensuring that crucial primary care insights are integrated into the design and delivery of mental health solutions.
The primary focus of the discussions was to evaluate, identify, and reduce the complex biological, social, environmental, and structural factors that contribute to mental health conditions in young people. The meeting successfully helped to clarify scientific priorities and set the coordinated work plan for the coming months among the 19 partners from 14 countries.
