About
WBD addresses one of the most urgent and essential priorities in global healthcare today: the well-being of physicians and the professionals who sustain our medical systems. Two core dimensions, one mission.
A letter from the chair
Prof. Jonathan Ripp, Chair
The Expert Committee extends a formal invitation to physicians, healthcare leaders, and medical professionals worldwide. Physician well-being in today's demanding clinical environment is not optional; it is a priority and a shared responsibility.
This conference addresses two core focuses: strengthening individual well-being through evidence-based approaches, and institutionalising well-being via organisational policies and cultural changes.
The world's leading wellbeing researchers, the hospital systems that have actually moved the needle, and the colleagues who have been where you are, all in one room. We would love to have you in Valencia.
Six internationally recognised experts guide the conference, from Mount Sinai to Singapore General Hospital. They review every submission, every speaker and every line of the program.
