Our biennial ATBH Conferences
Join with us every two years. ATBH is driven by the conviction that by learning together we improve working together to effect change, enhance quality of care, ensure safety and optimise deployment of human resources. Previous conferences were held in London (2006), Stockholm (2008), Sydney (2010), Kobe (2012), Pittsburgh USA (2014), and Oxford (2016). The conference attracts around 500 delegates.
Call to organize the 2020 Conference
The World Coordinating Committee ATBH warmly welcomes expressions of interest from universities and health service organisations in hosting the tenth ATBH conference to be held in 2020. The conferences generally bring together around 500 delegates from around the world to promote interprofessional education towards improving global health through closer collaboration. Delegates include health and social care professionals and educators, policy makers, students and service users and carers.
Interested organisations should be an institution active in the domain of health and/or social care, or of higher education in this domain, or a regional network in IPE/CP, or a consortium of institutions be willing to work closely with a regional network represented on the World Coordinating Committee. The need to be prepared to carry full financial liability for the conference, and organize the conference according to the general guidelines and the general program schedule, over 3 days in the period to define between May and October 2020 and to be agreed with the WCC-ATBH.
