ALF

The ALF is an agreement on medical education and research between the government and seven regions. The agreement commits the parties to jointly promote the development of healthcare and collaborate in clinical research and medical education.

About ALF

Among other things, the ALF agreement addresses the so-called ALF compensation, which is the reimbursement the regions receive for training physicians and conducting clinically oriented medical research. According to the agreement, clinically oriented medical research is based on access to healthcare resources and should emphasise patient-oriented research.

Collaboration on three levels

The agreement also allows collaboration on other available financial resources. This occurs in joint committees at three levels:

1. University Medical Board
2. University Medical Board Executive Committee
3. University healthcare units and the RD&T groups
