Popis: Lifelong learning became the most important issue in new strategies of education in global world. In health services education is focused on bringing fast new technological development into clinical practice assuring patient's safety. To make lifelong learning in health care professions a reality, education and training systems should make a stronger effort toward really open, flexible and transparent education. This requires co-operation between European, national and regional/ local levels, but it also calls for quality assurance systems to strengthen their co-operation on these objectives. The multidisciplinary approach in lifelong learning is particularly important in health system where patient's problems are in the center of their activities. Interdisciplinarity in practice, collaboration, co-ordination of continuity of care are as important for health system as for individual patient. Therefore, lifelong learning is ultimate goal for everyone working in health sector. Higher education quality assurance mechanisms should support lifelong learning by a broader international dimension, providing transparency and recognition, better adapting to nontraditional education and learners, and encouraging bridges with other education levels and sectors (in particular with vocational education and training). This should be complemented with incentives for higher education institutions to become more active in lifelong learning, and to a broad range of stakeholders in that process.
