Future Health Skills Summit

Experts from across the Australian health landscape aim to advance the development of resilient, future‑ready health systems.

Join UNSW Medicine & Health in partnership with NSW Health, the Future Workforce Unit and the International Centre for Future Health Systems for the Future Health Skills Summit.

This summit shifts the focus from what the research is to how we build the future workforce skills and job re-design that will successfully support this translation at scale. We are looking beyond the lab and into the clinic, the community and the policy rooms to create a Future Health Skills roadmap.
