COHEHRE Symposium 2025: Advocacy for values in health Care
By Kirsten Garré InSwitserland
We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming symposium, “Advocacy for Values in Health Care: Which challenges need to be faced to ensure core values and sustainability in the healthcare system, in this current era?” taking place on May 15-16, 2025, at SUPSI in Switzerland.
In an era of rapid technological change, shifting demographics, and evolving social needs, our healthcare systems face unprecedented pressures that challenge both their sustainability and their commitment to core values. This symposium brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, higher education teachers in healthcare, and advocates to explore innovative approaches to preserving what matters most in health care delivery.
During these two days, we will examine a wide variety of subjects including:
- What is the worth of health care in society? Individual and social perspectives.
- From public health to healthcare policies.
- Can moral integrity and knowledge of intersectionality coexist?
- The impact of caring on our society.
- Technological innovation and engineering of sustainable medical devices.
- Analysis of the economic value of healthcare systems.
- How to develop educational strategies to foster sustainability mindsets in the students, future health professionals.
- Successful implementation of sustainable practices in health care. How health professionals can contribute to minimizing waste in patient care.
- Gender equality: a key to sustainable development
- Improving patient access and quality of care. Development of actionable recommendations.
- The role of education in promoting sustainable practices.
- Wellbeing of students in the new millennium.
- Promoting sustainability in healthcare through the activity of professional networks.
- Healthcare’s role in social stability and equity.
- School-to-work transition: from theory to practice.
