5th International Congress of Health Workforce Education and Research
We are very pleased to announce that the 5th International Congress of Health Workforce Education and Research will take place at the Open University in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th May 2025. The event is the 5th iteration of our main academic conference which we hold once a year and will once again be hosted in collaboration with the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME) after a hugely successful collaboration in 2023.
Conference Theme: Learning Together for Clinical Excellence
Today, patients are rarely looked after by just one health professional, and in the context of a complex healthcare system, effective teamworking and interprofessional learning is essential for the delivery of effective and patient-centred care. We are delighted to be working in partnership to bring you the second edition of this joint two-day conference providing an excellent opportunity for us and our delegates to strengthen links and learn from diverse healthcare professions to establish new ways of working together.
This event is one of the best opportunities for educators across the health professions to come together to share good practice, the latest innovations in healthcare education, as well as for networking, academic collaboration, and professional development.
Themes include:

The Call for Abstracts is now open. The INHWE would like to invite potential participants to submit abstracts on the overall conference theme of Interprofessional Education or any topic related to our many INHWE Working Group themes. We will also accept abstracts submitted for topics that should be taught in an interprofessional way, such as communication and leadership. If you have any doubt about your abstract’s relevance, please contact INHWE Director, David Smith, or the relevant Working Group lead.
The AoME also welcomes abstracts on the overall conference theme and is particularly interested in abstracts around activity where there has been an interprofessional learning approach with demonstrated improvement in healthcare, but we will also consider submissions of all interests for posters, short presentations and workshops.
