🚨 Patients à la table des décisions : qui joue le jeu en Europe (et qui fait semblant) ? 📒 Baromètre sur l’implication des organisations de patients dans les politiques de santé au niveau national ✍️ Barometer on the Involvement of Patient Organisations in Health Policy at National Level - European Patients’ Forum (EPF), organisation faîtière européenne des associations de patients. Éditorial du président Marco Greco. Capsules Audio de Pratiques en Santé 🎙️🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjTeyUBZ-HI 🔍💡 Implication des organisations de patients : 23 pays passés au crible. Plus d’1 sur 3 n’a aucun cadre institutionnel, et seuls 4 définissent juridiquement ce qu’est une organisation de patients. La participation reste souvent ponctuelle plutôt que structurelle. 🤝 Des repères concrets pour outiller le plaidoyer et la représentation des usagers Analyse de Pratiques en Santé et lien vers la source ℹ️➕ https://www.pratiquesensante.com/blog/pratiques-15/barometre-sur-l-implication-des-organisations-de-patients-dans-les-politiques-de-sante-au-niveau-national-6149 📌 Le document donne une grille de lecture concrète pour situer son propre pays — et sa propre pratique — sur l’implication réelle des usagers dans les décisions de santé, au-delà des discours. Il distingue nettement participation « symbolique » et participation « structurelle », et fournit des critères vérifiables (cadre légal, définition de l’organisation, transparence, financement, montée en compétences). Un acteur de terrain y trouve des arguments chiffrés et des exemples pour outiller un plaidoyer local, préparer une participation à une instance, ou évaluer la qualité d’une concertation dans laquelle il siège. 🇬🇧: Barometer on the Involvement of Patient Organisations in Health Policy at National Level - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/barometer-on-the-involvement-of-patient-organisations-in-health-policy-at-national-level-6149 #️⃣ #pratiquesensante #DémocratieEnSanté #ParticipationDesUsagers #PatientsPartenaires #OrganisationsDePatients #ETS #PlaidoyerSanté #PromotionDeLaSanté

La crise du logement ne bloque pas que des chantiers. Elle empêche des jeunes de quitter le foyer parental, de bâtir leur vie, parfois de fonder une famille. En 1974, la France construisait 450 000 logements neufs pour environ 50 millions d'habitants. Aujourd'hui, avec une population plus nombreuse, on tombe sous les 280 000. Ce n'est pas une fatalité démographique. C'est le résultat du carcan normatif, de la fiscalité et des délais devenus paralysants. Il faut libérer le foncier, simplifier le droit de l'urbanisme, accélérer les permis de construire. Cela ne se décrète pas depuis un bureau parisien : cela se joue localement, ville par ville, avec ceux qui connaissent les besoins réels du terrain. En 2027, Nouvelle Énergie rendra à la France le droit de bâtir, pour que les jeunes puissent à nouveau se loger, devenir propriétaires et fonder une famille. #CriseDuLogement #Construction #Urbanisme
