Action plan

The NFU, Dutch Hospitals Association (NVZ), Federation of Medical Specialists and Zorgverzekeraars Nederland (ZN) are jointly carrying out the action plan ‘Appropriate use of expensive medicines’. Its goal: contribute systematically to the appropriate use of expensive medicines.

Digitalisation

The NFU and the umcs are increasingly targeting digitalisation. This reduces the administrative burden after all. Plus: digitalisation makes it easier to offer the patient the right care in the right place.

ROBIJN

With their unique integration of healthcare, research and education, the umcs are eminently suitable to supply specialist healthcare. This healthcare is not purchased and reimbursed by insurers. How are these treatments paid and accounted for? The NFU developed the ROBIJN project to answer this question.

Bulk purchasing

Many benefits can be achieved when the umcs make bulk purchases of devices and medicines and when the purchase processes are better arranged. The NFU bulk purchasing programme is working actively towards this goal.

Clinical resarch

The umcs provide high-quality care, and that is partly possible thanks to new insights and innovations deriving from their prestigious biomedical and healthcare research. Customised clinical research is of great importance to optimise patient care and continue innovating in the fields of prevention, treatment and aftercare.

BROK®

Are you a clinical investigator in an umc working on medical-scientific research that falls under the scope of the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO)? Then you are required to take the Basic course on Regulations and Organisation for clinical investigators (Basiscourse Regelgeving en Organisatie voor Klinisch Onderzoekers; BROK®), which was developed at the initiative of the NFU.

Top sector policy

In the context of the mission-driven top sector and innovation policy, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) spelled out the societal theme of health and care as one of the four global challenges for the coming years. This led to the top sector of Life Sciences & Health that the NFU is active in.

Valorisation

Valorisation is another core task of umcs (as are providing complex care, carrying out research and providing education). The NFU works on this in a variety of ways.

Workgroup on Privacy, ethics and the law in health research

Since 2017 the NFU has had a workgroup on Privacy, ethics and the law in health research. What do they do?

PhD track

Students with a (bio)medical master’s diploma are eligible for a PhD track at an umc, leading to graduating with the highest academic degree of ‘Doctor of Philosophy’ (PhD).
