Who are we?

The researchers at the Amsterdam Centre for Professional Performance & Compassionate Care (PP&CC) are enthusiastic people who – by means of applied research and teaching – devote themselves to supporting and clarifying effective functioning and performance by doctors every day. ‘Good medical treatment’ requires doctors with cool heads and warm hearts. These doctors will be able to give patients the best possible care. Providing the best possible care for every patient is an ambition shared by the researchers at PP&CC and the doctors and other colleagues and experts we work with.
