TESTIMONIAL OF HENK MEINES (UWV)
"For UWV, the workshop generated very valuable insights. For example, we could offer our doctors and work experts extra education, and we could offer more support to people in their reintegration after the work incapacity evaluation. Also, there are opportunities to better involve the employer in the first two years of illness. We will take all input into account and use it in the process of writing a research proposal together with the department of public health at the UMCG, with whom we have had an academic workplace for years now."

How do we all ensure more healthy years? At the UMCG and at the University of Groningen, many researchers, doctors and nurses have been working on the theme Healthy Ageing for almost 10 years. On Saturday 17 November, Jochen Mierau talked to Paul Blokhuis, State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport, about how the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health can contribute to prevention in health care. Mierau: "It was a great pleasure to discuss the future of prevention with the State Secretary. He was very interested and knowledgeable about the field and showed an intrinsic motivation in enhancing individuals' ability to gain more healthy years."
Blokhuis was impressed by the healthy ageing plans in Groningen: "I was all ears when listening to all the great plans they have in Groningen. They say nothing tops Groningen, and when it comes to preventive healthcare, then it is more than true."
