EACH Summer Event

Facilitating effective healthcare communication
Our objective is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and products of teaching and research activities across a network of individuals and institutions in Europe and beyond.

Our conferences capture the teaching as well as the research components of communication in healthcare and focus not only on doctors, but equally on nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, dentists, etc. The conferences are therefore of interest to trainers, teachers, health care professionals and researchers. The conferences are a mixture of plenaries, oral paper presentations, workshops, posters and symposia.
