Partnering with patients and communities

Patient partnership and community engagement have long been recognized as key factors in improving patient care and population health outcomes. From participation in interdisciplinary teams to research and policymaking, patients and communities are now commonly included in the provision and development of healthcare. Living up to the ideal of meaningful partnerships is not without its challenges, especially in our post-pandemic pluralistic societies.
Join us in 2024 as a diverse group of ethicists, researchers, healthcare professionals, patients, families and community partners from across the globe discuss how to harness the power of meaningful partnerships in healthcare ethics and consultation.
The call for proposals will be open from September 15 to November 15, 2023. In line with the conference’s main theme “Partnering with patients and communities,” we are inviting proposals that investigate and question how all aspects of ethics (clinical ethics, research ethics, policy in health and healthcare, bioethics) consider patient and community engagement.
Students are encouraged to submit their work as dedicated sessions are reserved for student participants. Bursaries will be made available for trainees from countries with developing economies , allocated randomly amongst the proposal with the highest reviewer scores.
