PARIS, France: On 5 December 2018, academics, students, professionals and policymakers in dentistry, medicine and veterinary medicine came together to discuss the implementation of a new approach to education in their respective fields, known as One Health. Participants exchanged their views about the value of and necessity for working together on a common understanding and a concept that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration starting at the undergraduate level.
One Health is a concept that aims to bring together dentists, physicians, osteopathic physicians, veterinarians, nurses and other scientific-health and environmentally related disciplines to help further improve the respective fields in a more collaborative format.
At the recent event in Paris, which was hosted by the French organisation Conseil national de l’Ordre des médecins, 45 participants from France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands were in attendance. Among the speakers were representatives from the Council of European Dentists (CED) and the European Commission and academics with experience in the implementation of the One Health concept in their universities, as well as delegates from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Speaking to DTI, Dr Marco Landi, President of the CED, said that despite the One Health concept gaining recognition in Europe, its application in education remains unsatisfactory. “We recognise that, for the sake of better prevention practices, research, disease management and the fight against antimicrobial resistance, this cooperation is paramount,” he explained.
Regarding any scepticism among dentistry professionals about the idea of a more collaborative working environment, Landi said: “We recognise that in practice, educational and health systems in many European countries still fall short of our vision and that there might be a certain amount of mistrust and a lack of understanding of what we are trying to achieve, including among dentists. We hope that events such as the One Health event in Paris will help to clarify our goals and the reasons behind them.”
With such an ambitious plan, which is gradually gaining support from more organisations, there is a great deal of work still to be done before its possible implementation. According to the CED, it supports the initiative because it favours continuing development of the healthcare workforce and ensures a holistic response to health challenges of the future.
“Every healthcare profession has its specific role in addressing major public threats such as antimicrobial resistance, but we all share the responsibility for delivering high-quality care with patient safety always being at the centre,” said Landi.
