Partnering with MoH and health leaders to implement the 7 pillars in primary health care centers throughout Palestine: Fixed family practice team, Registered patient population, Single patient record, Appointment system, repeat prescriptions, Gatekeeper role of primary care, Unified family practice team.

Education + Training

On-line tutorials, in-person week long workshops, and visiting faculty have helped to supplement medical education about family medicine (FM), FM residency curricula, and development of FM faculty and other faculties at Health Science Universities in Palestine.

Transitional Training Programme (TTP)

The TTP was developed and refined by FFMP and MAP.  It is a training module designed to introduce all members of the MoH and UNRWA multidisciplinary Primary Health Care teams (non-specialist doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians and administrative staff) to the principles and practice of family health care. It is structured in two parts, with an online component for participants to work through individually and a group component for them to come together and discuss their learning. It has had hugely positive feedback from participants and, in partnership with Juzoor, is gradually being rolled out throughout the region.  

Research Capacity Building

Professors from UK and US medical schools have partnered with medical students, FM residents and faculties to plan and implement studies; draft, edit and publish manuscripts to further enhance the scientific research capacity of health science departments in Palestine.

FFMP is sharing models of how medical schools can benefit from inputs from family medicine clinics and specialists to enhance student learning. This work is being done in collaboration with the Deans of medical schools across Palestine and relevant faculty members.
