Conference info
Western societies are living through paradoxical times – the opportunities to maintain good health status have never been as good as they are today. Yet, people perceive their individual health poorer due to the shortcomings in addressing health and illness-related societal, emotional, psychological etc needs. This changed societal situation raises new expectations and challenges to health professionals. This involves the ways health professionals are educated and how this, in turn, influences the wider context of healthcare research, practice and policy.

 

The aim of the interdisciplinary conference is to bring together outstanding scholars, researchers, practitioners and students from different fields to exchange their knowledge and experiences and research findings. The conference focuses on topics listed below (but are not limited to):

 

— Chronic illness;
— Mental health;
— Digitalization in healthcare;
— Health promotion/disease prevention;
— Patient safety;
— Education and research in Health Sciences;
— Health(care) policies in changing societies;
— Quality management in healthcare;
— Ethics in healthcare;
— Innovation in healthcare;
