What should we do now to prepare health professionals for future health care demand challenges in order to ensure accessible, affordable, high-quality health care and social support? This question of worldwide interest is thoroughly addressed in two recent research-based advisory reports for the Dutch Health Ministry. The process and outcomes of these studies are briefly described in the present article. Demography, digital technologies and a new concept of health urge a radical shift in perception, learning and action in health care education, a call well-received throughout the country.
