Health professional mobility affects the performance of health systems and these impacts are assuming greater significance given increasing mobility in Europe, a process fuelled by the European Union (EU) enlargement in 2004 and 2007.

This volume presents research conducted within the framework of the European Commission’s Health PROMEtheus project. This research was undertaken in order to address gaps in the  knowledge of the numbers, trends and impacts and of the policy responses to this dynamic situation. It gives  a comprehensive analysis of mobility patterns, the impacts of migration on health systems and its relevance for policy-making and policy responses across Europe. It will enhance our knowledge not only on health workforce mobility but also on workforce development.
