The Deans of Health group is composed of representatives with a strategic remit for health research in members' medical schools.
The purpose of the group is to engage with the Horizon Europe’s Strategic Planning Process and work to influence the priorities of the Health cluster. One of the outcomes of their work was a set of recommendations targeting the European Commission and policymakers. These recommendations will also help guide The Guild's efforts to influence the content of future Health Work Programmes.
