EHFG 2023: Registration for the hybrid conference is open!
The European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG) is delighted to share with you the programme of the EHFG 2023 and announce that registration is open! This year’s hybrid edition, taking place from 26 – 29 September, is jointly organised with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, and in collaboration with the European Commission and, for the first time, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe
Facing significant challenges pre-COVID-19, the pandemic and the ensuing permacrisis have only exacerbated the situation, stretching health systems, and in particular the health and social care workforce, to their limits. While there is a permeable sense of fatigue caused by a feeling that sometimes the challenges we are facing are beyond our control and power to influence, shockwaves and crises can help catalyse the development of new approaches to age-old problems. To truly address the health system crisis, co-create healthier societies, and ride out the current shockwaves, stakeholders in health must prevent the cornerstones of our systems from crumbling, and fashion long-term sustainable solutions that support health and well-being, in partnership with actors in other sectors that support health and well-being.
Setting the scene for this year’s conference, the first EHFG 2023 plenary will reflect on why the case for creating more resilient health systems has never been more urgent. Building on this discussion, the second plenary will take a deep dive into the challenge of human resources for health and care. Key issues to be explored include a changing labour market: different expectations of work, an ageing workforce and mobility and migration leading to acute shortages and uneven distribution of healthcare professionals, and medical deserts in some areas. Finally, coming together in the closing plenary, prominent actors will consider the measures needed to ensure the ongoing sustainability and safeguarding of people-centred social security and welfare systems. Discussions will include the main asks for health from the next European constituency.
