With members from the UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and beyond, the network is a truly global organisation united in its commitment to restoring empathy and human connection in healthcare.

In today’s increasingly digital and fragmented healthcare systems, empathy is more crucial than ever.

This symposium – delivered in association with JEDE – will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators to examine how we can rehumanise care in an era of technological advancements, remote interactions, and rising healthcare divides.

Through keynote presentations, workshops, and collaborative discussions, attendees will explore practical strategies for integrating empathy into digital platforms, overcoming barriers to human connection, and addressing the challenges posed by an often impersonal, tech-driven healthcare environment.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with global experts, share insights, and learn actionable solutions for fostering compassionate, patient-centred care in a digital world.

WHEN: 15-16 September 2025

WHERE: Sir Bob Burgess Building, Freemen’s Common, Leicester, LE2 7TF
