Creative destruction

The Congress itself will now take place virtually on 14-17 June 2021. And after a year like no other, the plenary theme for the 2021 congress is ‘Creative destruction: Design innovation in the face of existential threats’. Other congress themes include: Climate-smart healthcare; Science, technology and innovation; Intersection of clinical medicine and design; UK health infrastructure; Art and architecture; Population health and health systems; Health planning; Intelligent hospital design and innovation; and the COVID-19 Global Summit: Pandemic preparedness.

 

The Congress is dedicated to the global exchange of knowledge on the relationship between research, practice and policy in the design of health systems, services, technology and infrastructure. With over 200 speakers, keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, posters, videos and more besides, European Healthcare Design 2021 is the world’s leading forum for exchange of research findings, best practice and policy thinking on the design of health systems, services and infrastructure.   undefined - undefined


As well as virtual networking, delegates will enjoy professional development opportunities, building knowledge of the socio-economic global context, and emerging practice, skills and core competencies in designing and commissioning health services, technology and infrastructure, project management, and the evidence base for healthcare design, sustainable development and quality improvement.


COVID-19 Global Summit 

As the existential shock of the pandemic and continuing threat to life and livelihoods reverberates through societies, international health systems are adapting and reshaping at speed. But while vaccines bring hope that the Covid-19 pandemic can eventually be controlled, many health systems are still in the midst of the crisis. Moreover, the direct and indirect impacts on physical and mental health will be felt for years to come. 

 

In response to the continuing crisis, the European Healthcare Design 2021 Congress will again incorporate the COVID-19 Global Summit. This fully integrated ‘conference within a conference’, brings global knowledge and learning together from the pandemic response, preparedness and impact.
