Created in 1995, the European Journal of General Practice is the official journal of WONCA Europe (the European Society of General Practice/Family Medicine) and supports its aims and objectives.

The European Journal of General Practice is an international scientific journal. Its objectives are:

• To foster scientific research in general practice/family medicine (GP/FM) by the publication of original papers and reports;
• To present background papers, and papers stimulating discussion and debate relevant for the development of GP/FM;
• To facilitate the communication between the members of the ESGP/FM, the international network organisations and the national colleges and societies involved in general practice.

The highly respected Editorial Advisory Board is strongly rooted in all aspects of GP/FM and represents the whole geographical area.
