Call For Abstracts 2025 From Science to Practice
Requirement and guidance for submitting papers
NPI are effective, personalised and non-invasive prevention or care protocols that are evidence-based, referenced and supervised by qualified professionals’ (NPIS Guidelines, 2024). These psychosocial, nutritional and physical practices have been mentioned by health authorities such as the WHO (2003), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (2020) and the European Commission (2022), as well as by numerous scientific and medical societies. They improve health, autonomy, survival and quality of life, reduce healthcare expenditure and bring about lasting changes in health behaviour. They strengthen prevention and care and complement biomedical treatments thanks to advances in early diagnosis and the systemic effects of chronic diseases.
However, fake news about health has spread rapidly in recent years, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic. There is therefore an urgent need to provide an international tool enabling patients, professionals and healthcare operators to identify evidence-based NPIs. A centralised registry coordinated by the NPIS in partnership with numerous partners will enable labelled, described and codified practices to be shared. It will enable better choice, better commitment, better traceability and possible financial coverage.
