THE BEATING HEART OF MEDICINE IS PEOPLE:
PATIENTS AND THOSE WHO CARE FOR THEM
Join us for this incredible one of a kind event in the heart of Australia at one of our most spectacular locations. Voyagers Resort in Central Australia in 2026. Learn from some of the world's best medical leaders in compassionate care, about how heart centred healthcare can empower and heal healthcare workers and their patients.Â
This event is for Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health Clinicians, Healthcare Leaders, Coaches and Supervisors of Medics, Patient Advocates and all healthcare workers. This is not your ordinary conference.Â
OUR FACULTY
THE ART OF MEDICINE ENABLES THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE
If your patients don’t trust you or don’t understand you, they don’t want to work with you. Healthcare can only deliver great health outcomes for patients when they trust those providing the care. In the US more litigious action is taken for poor communication than any other error in medicine. Getting the balance right in the art and science of medicine is vital for doctor wellbeing.
Doctors who have strong inter and intrapersonal skills have better relationships with their colleagues, and their patients, and they enjoy longer more fulfilling careers.
The art of medicine, the purpose of healthcare, is deeply rooted in heart centred care. Care that seeks to relieve suffering. Compassion is a renewable resource, hardwired into humans for survival. Healthcare is better when compassion is at the heart of medicine.
