Inaugural HPfGH conference: “Role of the health workforce in equity for global health”
As part of our dedication to improving Global Health through education and discussion, Health Professionals for Global Health (HPfGH: https://www.hpforgh.org.uk/) is putting on its first ever Global Health conference. The theme for this first conference will be “Role of the health workforce in equity for global health”. We will be welcoming some exciting speakers to talk about a range of topics, followed by a panel Q&A session and an afternoon of small group workshops and discussions. Join us to learn about how we can educate, research and ethically recruit to create a more equitable workforce within global health.
This event is aimed at doctors at any point within their medical career, but we would also love to welcome any members of the wider team of healthcare professionals.
When: 23rd May 2023, 09:00 - 17:00
Where: The Apothecaries, Blackfriars, London. (https://www.apothecaries.org/)
How Much: £15
Please note:
This is an in-person only event, but we will endeavour to make recordings of talks available after the conference.
We have intentionally tried to keep the cost low, so that this event is accessible to as many as possible. This means that we have been unable to include lunch within the fee. Teas and coffees are included, and there are several cafes and restaurants nearby where it will be possible to purchase lunch.
