General director of the Landelijke Forensisch
Psychiatrische Dienst and of the Pieter Baan Centrum in Utrecht Erik Heijdelberg is a consultant and policy advisor with over 15 years experience in social policy and health systems in both transition and developing countries and in the Netherlands.

Focus in these studies was on organisation and management of social services and the role of civil society groups. He was responsible for long-term technical support in primary health care programmes in Zambia, Jamaica, Yemen, Peru and Malawi. In addition he took part in more than fifty formulation, evaluation and support missions in public health and community development in over twenty countries. He is currently involved in projects on quality assurance in Slovakia, home care in Serbia and other Eastern European countries, reconstruction of health services in Afghanistan, psycho social care in Uganda and Sudan, and evaluation of community care in Africa. In the Netherlands Erik Heijdelberg used to be a senior advisor to (local) authorities, service providers and consumer organisations.
