The European Healthcare Design conference is one of the most prestigious events in Healthcare circles, with many of the world’s leading voices attending from global design firms, consultants, contractors and government.
Healthcare ecosystems face many new and emerging challenges; aging populations, the rise of non-communicable disease, long-term conditions, the increasing prevalence of mental illness all set against global workforce shortages, inadequate physical infrastructure and the desire to shift focus from sickness to wellness.
This year’s event will be from the 9-11th June, at the Royal College of Physicians London and dRofus are sponsors of the Wednesday morning workshop “Global perspectives: Standards and standardization at the crossroads”, chaired by Sunand Prasad (OBE), who will be joined by Clifford Harvey, Shalyce Corney, Chetna Bhatia, and Katie Wood.
We’re excited to hear and learn from some amazing speakers, many of which are dRofus customers!
