The International Medical Board Mental Healthcare is based on the proven concept of MEDIAN's Medical Boards and Priory's Clinical Networks. With the founding of the International Medical Board, we were the first company to take a pioneering step towards international knowledge networking. Our aim is to exchange our medical knowledge across national borders, to network experts within the MEDIAN Group and to share and promote best practices and innovative approaches throughout Europe.
Our aim is to continuously improve the quality of our treatments and advance mental healthcare as a whole. By sharing knowledge and experience, we lay the foundation for continuous innovation and excellence in patient care.
The International Medical Board will meet on a quarterly basis. The meetings will rotate between the three countries. The participants have broad expertise in the field of mental healthcare.
Through the international exchange of knowledge and experience, we endeavour to
- better understand the diversity of rehabilitation and mental health care across Europe
- utilise different clinical perspectives and approaches to improve patient care
- set new standards through international benchmarking
- drive innovation through collective learning
- improve patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes through international exchange of best practice
