Hello, My name is Marius Ciutan and I am from Romania.
I am a medical doctor and I have been working as a specialist degree in public health and health management for the last four year. Since 2004, I have been working in the Public Health Research Department of The National School of Public Health and Health Services Management of Bucharest where I have a lot of responsibilities related with teaching activities, especially epidemiology and biostatistics topics and with coordinating and managing the phases of research studies. Specially I have been involved in sampling and statistical analysis phases of the research studies realized in our institute. I want to develop my career step by step. Because I am at the beginning of my career, I propose to not jump any main step of my professional training. In this order, I have a competition with myself: I propose to become by the age of 40, a senior specialist in Public Health and to become more confident in applying as a… and obtaining a position of principal investigator of ones of the Cross-border or European programmes and researches.
I consider that it is very useful to be in touch with all news in the field of public health in order to upgrade my knowledge and would be more efficiently to be in touch with colleges from different countries and disciplines, in order to improve my practice and my communication skills. My interest is in the wider field of public health: epidemiology, demographics, biostatistics - especially statistical analysis, but also health services management, public health promotion and sanitary economy. My other interests are painting, photo and surfing on Internet.

External evaluation as a new perspective in the evolution of health networks - Example on diabetes health networks
In a European dimension, health networking is guided through a trend of high decentralization and empowerment of local initiatives. The current trend is towards new innovator approaches and new organizations to improve continuity of care and coordination of care in a multidisciplinary context. In UK, the primary care trusts model is supported by a coherent health policy; the networking has more informal characters in other countries (Spain) or is limited to local initiatives in some cities (Italy); in East-European countries (inclusive Romania) the level of local initiative is very low but there are real premises to shift from informal to formal local health networks.
The French model of health networks emerged from the spontaneous aggregation of patient and health professional around specific public health issues (AIDS).
The year 2006 seemed to mark a further step in the end of the health networks first cycle: in particular in experimentations and maybe 2007 could be a new period toward regulations that miss to healthcare system. The experimentation level is continuing in both term of financing and evaluation process. Nevertheless there is a political pressure to introduce an external evaluation approach for French health networks governed by principles such as institutionalisation, refinancing, rationalisation.
In this context the present study’s purpose is to provide evidences on the French health networks evaluation system in a perspective regarding the introducing external evaluation and to identify the position of the external evaluation in the life’s cycle of health network.
The methodology is to analyse the current evaluation system combining both theoretical and practical approaches; it focuses on collecting and analysing the experts’ opinions about legal frameworks, obstacles, added values in order to understand what would be its roles and the perspectives induced in the life’s cycle of health network.
By comparing both approaches (theoretical and practical) external evaluation seems to lead to new perspectives in consolidating self evaluations, providing professional tools and methodologies, therefore ensuring helpful support for promoters thanks to high level of expertises and neutrality. Their specialisations will strengthen the experiences shared and therefore the learning process. To guarantee a successful implementation every actor have to keep in mind the fact that evaluation is more a support than a sanction to overpass this common confusion’s feeling regarding this topic in France. The methodology has to be simple, coherent and adaptive regarding these complex and dynamics organisations such as health networks.
External evaluation and more widely evaluation shall not be considered as a tool but a way to shift health networks from experimental step to a regulation function.
Background
My name is Gorosenco Eugeniu. I am from the Republic of Moldova. After graduating from the State Medical University N. Testemitanu in 2000, I had three years of residentship in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Since 2003 until now I’m working as an oncogynecologist at The Oncologic Institute.
At the moment I’m also second year student at The School of Public Health, here, in Chisinau, which is the capital of Moldova.
I used to work as a local expert with some international experts in a Health Investment Fund Project. We did some research regarding health services, human resources. Doing this work I understood what with a good organization of health services, with an optimal configuration of hospital services, can be managed relevant problems in health care.
I hope the Europhamili Program will give me the opportunity to get new knowledge, new solution in solving problems in Health Care sector.

Influences of colorectal screening programme implementation on the quality of health care
Colorectal cancer is currently the second most common form of cancer in Europe and also the second most common cause of death. Reducing mortality from colorectal cancer can be achieved by the introduction of population-based screening programmes. The main objective of our qualitative study done in Britanny (France) was to find out whether the implementation of mass screening influences the quality of other aspects of health care provided by different actors of the health care system. We performed 15 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with health professionals in the period from 11 April until 18 May. Most of the interviewees after taking part in the screening programs became more prevention orientated and implementation of screening programmes have a positive influence on them and on the quality of their services. They became closer to their patients, spending more time speaking with them and more confident relationship was created. Thus screening can significantly improve health outcomes and quality of practice of health care system but only with implementation of organized screening approach.
Background
Hello, I’m from Brittany, I live in Rennes. After completing an engineer degree in project management and in statistics, I‘ve worked in health sector in France for eleven years , first as a consultant for a company specialized in health software for clinics and public hospitals then as a free lance consultant ( in Brittany , Paris and rest of France). I worked on the optimisation of organisation on the following topics: Electronic Medical Record, PMSI (DRG Diagnosis Related Groups) , T2A, Billing .
I have been interested in the health sector because of the different kind of organisations you can find: public and private system, medical and administrative staff. This is the reason why in 1998, I completed a post graduated diploma in economics health and management (DESS).
I took a sabbatical year in 2006, after having spent 8 months in North America especially in Quebec, I came back in France last autumn, and this foreign experience emphasizes my idea that sharing different culture and point of view are the best way to analyse problem (often common issue in health management), to find solutions and to increase creativity. I would like to work in the next years on topics about organisation and assessment in an international context.
About my hobbies, I love music especially concerts, I play ( as an amateur !) diatonic accordion, I also play theatre, I love travelling and I like sports such as windsurfing and jogging.

Background
My name is IULIA IACOB, I am 27 years old, and I am from Bucharest, Romania. Since 2003, I am working as psychologist in the National School of Public Health and Health Services Management (NSPHSM), within the department of the National Center for Health Promotion. The Master in the Management of Social and Health Services was the first theoretical step in my career in public health (2005). I am also certified for passing the final examination of the course of hospital management and international trends in the health system reforms (2006). I am now attending online the one and a half year master of marketing online, using the e-learning procedures.
I found myself at the beginning of my career and developing my specialization will be an asset for both, I and the School. Attending the “Europhamili” course session in Rennes it is for me a unique opportunity to learn directly with European public health specialists and to develop my professional abilities. My expectations with this course are: to better understand the differences and similarities in different countries health systems and rules, to learn good and bad experiences in public health management, to enlarge my public health knowledge and skills, both, theoretical and practical, and, nevertheless, to meet public health specialists from different European countries and backgrounds. Returning back home, I intend to disseminate the knowledge among key persons in health system, my colleagues and the students attending courses at the NSPHSM, through lectures in classes and articles within the periodical “Management in Health”. In the next future, I intend to work and to become adviser for the Romanian public health policy makers. I love to read, travel and listen to music.

This study revealed the fact that it is necessary to have a good coordination of the social and medical services offered to the elderly, both from the public and private sector, realized from a single entity and there must be an adequate way to inform the populations of these services.
Background
My name is Janko Jankovic. I am from Belgrade which is the capital of Republic of Serbia and I am 28 years old. After my graduation I was working as a vascular surgeon for the period of one year. Since October 2005 I am working as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Social Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in both languages Serbian and English.

Right now I am attending Master of Science Program in the field of Public Health and the name of my Master of Science thesis is “Analysis of socio-economical determinants of health inequalities based on investigation of health status of population”. I realize that as non-EU country with decentralization in the health care sector we need more public health experts with developed management skills who will be able to face the different public health challenges. So the aim of Europhamili Training course is exactly that i.e. to manage transnational public health issues in Europe and to enhance quality in European higher education in the field of public health. I hope that during this intensive 3 month course I will improve my managerial, interpersonal and decision-making skills for work in public health.
