The International Network for Health Workforce Education hosts two types of event each year: one flagship International Congress of Health Workforce Education & Research and a number of smaller Regional Conferences of Health Workforce Education & Research. In 2021 we're holding our events entirely virtually, online, supported by our wonderful community of educators, researchers and trainers.

The SAFEMEDIC Project aims to improve the workplace safety of healthcare professionals by increasing their skills and competences in dealing with difficult situations. To achieve the project aims the consortium has produced complex multi-stakeholder, inter-disciplinary course for healthcare students, predominantly focused at paramedics and nurses.
