Statements: Networking with European Countries within the framework of EU FP7 Projects offers promising results on the

following:

(a) Enhancing the Greek capacity by training researchers and practitioners by listening to ideas and methods by other

European colleagues

(b) Adapting and improving innovation within primary care research

(c) Quality improvement by using recommendations/guidelines in the Greek primary care services

EFPC 4th Biannual Conference "Crossing Borders in Primary Care" in Gothenburg, 3-4 September 2012

Purpose: To report on the benefits of engaging in FP7 EU European projects to enhance research capacity for improving patient experience at an academic unit of general practice on Crete, Greece.

Theory: Three EU FP7 projects are reported on, encompassing various theories which enable shared learning, an interprofessional approach, and the potential for enhanced research capacity and improvement of patient care. Theories include: The Health Care Utilization (HCU) Model 1and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB)2 for OTC SOCIOMED, the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA)3 and Normalization Process Theory (NPT)4 for the RESTORE project and the Whole System Approach 5 and Social Network Analysis in the EU-WISE project. 1 L.J.
