15-16 Oct 2025 • Vancouver, BC + Virtual
What it’s about:
This past year has seen familiar challenges – retention, staff shortages, working with the education sector – take on new features as other complex systems outside of healthcare leave their mark.
How to make progress in the face of this?
It begins by acknowledging the roles we each have to play as we collectively embrace system complexity and work to develop new, resilient and adaptive solutions.
Who it’s for:
The event is intended to support collaboration amongst:
- Health system leaders, as they strengthen health workforce data and planning
- Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) governments, as they implement policy and funding decisions
- Employers and regional health authorities, as they implement on-the-ground workforce strategies
- Professional associations, regulatory bodies, unions, and the health workers they represent, in ensuring a strong, healthy health workforce
- Caregivers and patients as they partner in caregiving
- Members of the education sector who work to prepare the workforce of tomorrow
- The research community and students as they contribute to the overall knowledge about the health workforce in Canada
