What is and who are Nordic Risk Group (NRG)?
NRG was established in relation with the Nordic Congress of General Practice in Trondheim 2004 and has had its annual meetings ever since (in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland). The meetings last a few days and are an arena for presentations and discussions on current and relevant topics. In some of the meetings invited guests have joined the discussion for deeper insights in specific topics.
The group has frequent contact outside the meetings with discussions and information on publications, conferences, doctoral dissertations, etc. The group members have in cooperation arranged numerous seminars, symposia and workshops on a national as well as international level, e.g. the Nordic Congresses of General Practice, WONCA (World family doctors) and national conferences.
NRG has members from the Nordic countries – all of them general practitioners (currently or previously). More information can be found on this website under the tag “Members” with links to different members‘ homepages, including contact information.
