Congress Preliminary Programme to launch in February

The programme committee for the European Healthcare Design 2019 Congress is currently evaluating the papers submitted for presentation at this year's event, and the Preliminary Programme will be launched in February.

 

The 2019 Congress is the fifth global forum for the exchange of knowledge on the relationship between research and health policy and practice within the field of healthcare design. The Congress adopts a whole-system approach to redesigning international health systems, services and infrastructure through the exchange of knowledge, research and best practice. Every year, it attracts around 450 delegates – including clinicians, healthcare executives, health estates and development professionals, architects and designers, engineers, health planners, and researchers – from about 30 countries worldwide. 

 

This year's plenary theme is Blurring the boundaries: Designing place-based health systems. There are a further six streams:

 

  • Place-based health systems: improving access, quality and value
  • The intersection of medicine and architecture: redefining practice
  • Science, technology and innovation: empowering citizens and patients
  • Commercial design: innovation in healthcare investment and finance
  • Sustainable development: designing for people, place and planet
  • Art, design and technology: dignified and stimulating spaces for care
