2nd Global Conference on Person-Centred Care
Bridging Practice, Organisation and Governance
The University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) is pleased to announce the 2nd Global Conference on Person-Centred Care, that will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, 5-7 May 2026. Optional pre-conference workshops will be offered 4-5 May, followed by the full programme of the conference.
The 2nd GCPCC will focus on bridging practice, organisation and governance as related to person-centred care. The conference will platform several interdisciplinary and interprofessional fields, including integrated care, comprehensive care, and personalised health, and look at how these are anchored in partnerships bridging healthcare practices and organisations, as well as governance, policy and structural levels. This conference should therefore be of great interest to health professionals, patient and family carer representatives, researchers from various disciplines, designers, artists, leaders and decision-makers in health care and health policy, as well as the healthcare industry. The conference will be an on-site event.
Within the theme Person-Centred Care: Bridging Practice, Organisation and Governance, the keynotes and parallel streams will strive to synthesise and bridge a diversity of perspectives and various types of knowledge to person-centred care.
The programme will cover a range of streams, such as:
Living with health, illness and suffering
Evaluation of interventions
Healthcare policy
Patient and public involvement and patient rights
Healthcare governance
Healthcare organization
Children and youth
Comprehensive/integrated care
Digitalisation/eHealth
Disasters and time critical events

Other
Different types of abstracts are welcome such as empirical, theoretical, literature reviews, practice-based examples, as well as art, performance and media. Formats for presentations are poster, oral, symposia/panel, art/media/performance or workshop.
Deadline for abstract submission is August 25, followed by a second call for abstracts, which will be limited to poster presentations, with deadline November 16.
