Active since 1982, the European Health Management Association (EHMA) is a non-profit membership organisation open to all those committed to improving health and healthcare. Our focus is on health management capacity and capabilities and on supporting the successful implementation of health policy and practice, so as to make a real difference to the lives of Europe’s 500 million citizens.

EHMA is the only membership organization in Europe to bring together health managers, health professionals, policy makers, researchers and educators. EHMA provides an environment where evidence, challenge and experience are valued and complex debates on current topics take place. With a secretariat located in the heart of Europe, EHMA maximizes its impact by placing its membership of over 100 members in 30 countries at the heart of all that it does.

EHMA is principally focused on the ‘how’ rather than the ‘what’ of healthcare. This focus on implementation has behind it the twin aims of improving the take up and successful implementation of health improvement programmes and spreading this learning back into the realms of health policy, education and training.

Writing reports, providing expert commentary and maintaining a dialogue between policy makers and front-line delivery agencies, which improves understanding and take up and facilitates policy refinement and change.

Engaging in cutting edge research with some of the top research associations in Europe, with a focus on engagement and dissemination.

Supporting healthcare delivery to be as good as the best in Europe, through networking, events and projects.
