An overview of health workforce mobility in the European Union under the current supply challenges. SESPAS Report 2024

CONCLUSIONS: The European Union faces internal migrations of health professionals. Mobility is used as a solution to shortages. The pandemic aggravated pre-existing shortages bringing to the forefront the need to strike a balance between health objectives and internal market objectives. Member States are immersed in health reforms, some financed with European Funds. Promoting health workforce planning and forecasting would emerge as a necessary action, including improving harmonised information. Drawing in a systematic way on the available information from the European Semester reports may provide some clues to give answers to policymaking concerning health professionals' mobility.PMID:38714433 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2024.102393
