Care Forward: Educating the Healthcare Teams of Tomorrow
COHEHRE Conference 2027 | Paris | 28–30 April 2027
What will healthcare look like in 10–15 years, and how must education evolve to keep pace? The COHEHRE Conference 2027 brings the health education community to Paris to explore exactly that. Under the theme Care Forward, we look ahead to care in 2035 and to the role of AI and robotics. We also ask how borderless, cross-disciplinary collaboration will shape the healthcare teams of tomorrow.
We welcome voices from across the field: educators, students, healthcare professionals on the work floor, future thinkers, patients, citizens, politicians and companies developing health systems.
- Workforce: Attracting, Retaining & Leading Talent
- Pedagogy & Skills: Preparing for a Changing Care Landscape
- Technology, AI & Ethics: In Care and Education

A characteristic of COHEHRE conferences is the opportunity to connect across disciplines, sectors, and cultures –
fostering the innovation and collaboration our world needs most.
