ESE’s ‘State of Endocrinology’ project is a strategic initiative that provides a comprehensive assessment of the challenges, opportunities and priorities facing endocrinology across Europe. It brings together evidence, expert perspectives and stakeholder input to identify key areas where action is needed to strengthen the current and future endocrine workforce, secure better conditions around harmonised education and training, protect the place of research in busy clinical schedules and overall advocate for better working conditions.
The data will serve as an important advocacy and policy tool, helping to raise awareness of the burden of endocrine diseases and highlighting the critical role of the endocrine health care professional in improving public health outcomes.
Stakeholder Input on the State of Endocrinology Recommendations
The State of Endocrinology data analysis has now reached an important stage of development. Building on extensive consultation with experts and stakeholders, the final Report will outline a series of recommendations aimed at addressing current and future challenges facing the endocrine workforce.
The discussion of these recommendations with representatives of the ECAS National Endocrine Societies during the Summit of the Presidents at ECE last month engagement provided valuable insights and refines the recommendations, strengthens their relevance and applicability across different healthcare systems and national contexts.
Next Steps
The recommendations are being reviewed and refined, with the input received. The final Report will provide a shared framework for advocacy and action, supporting efforts to advance endocrine health and care across Europe.
Once finalised, the State of Endocrinology report will be shared with ESE members and via ECAS National Endocrine Societies and used to inform discussions with policymakers, healthcare leaders, patient organisations, researchers and healthcare professionals.
