Supplemento a “Italian Dental Giornal” 5 /2014“Italian Oral Hygiene”

• L’European Dental Hygienist’s Federation (Edhf - www. edhf.eu) nasce ufficialmente nel 1999 grazie alla volontà e al desiderio di un primo gruppo di associazioni nazionali di istituire un organismo sovranazionale grazie al quale potere supportare, far crescere e affermare la figura professionale dell’igienista dentale all’interno dell’allora Comunità economica europea (Cee).

• Dal 1999 a oggi il numero delle associazioni aderenti è cresciuto e oggi conta:

• Italia • Austria • Spagna• Portogallo • Olanda• Svizzera• Germania • Irlanda • Norvegia • Finlandia • Danimarca• Repubblica Ceca• Slovacchia • Malta• L’assemblea generale si tiene almeno una volta all’anno.

Gli obiettivi principali della federazione in accordo con le indicazioni dell’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità e delle istituzioni europee, a

favore dei cittadini della comunità:• 1) Divenire l’organizzazione sovranazionale (“Council of European Dental

Hygienists”) di riferimento per le istituzioni nell’ambito della discussione circa le direttive europee e tutti gli altri argomenti inerenti le professioni sanitarie che si occupano della salute e prevenzione orale.

• 2) Sviluppare occasioni di collaborazione e sinergie operative tra la federazione e altre istituzioni e gruppi di lavoro europei quali il Council of European Chief Dental Officers, l’Oral Health Platform o altri rilevanti attori internazionali al fine di raggiungere obiettivi comuni a molteplici professionalità del settore odontoiatrico e più in generale della salute.

• 3) Agire a livello di ciascuna nazione rappresentata dalla federazione e più in generale a livello europeo affinché vi sia una reale comprensione, apprezzamento e riconoscimento delle competenze professionali dell’igienista dentale; affinché la professione venga inclusa nelle direttive europee pertinenti e al fine di assicurare percorsi formativi comuni e libera circolazione dei professionisti in accordo con il Processo di Bologna.
