World Healthcare Student Symposium Mission

To organise a symposium which will educate and inspire future healthcare professionals, from pharmacy, medicines, nursing and other healthcare professions, to be activists and advocates for this vision. To promote collaboration on an international, regional, national and local level between students of different health professions to encourage the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach at a student level.

Objectives

An educational symposium will be organised for up to 400 students from different healthcare professions and healthcare student organisations. Preferably the participants group should be balanced in educational field and geographical spread. There will be at least 4 days of educational program. At the end of the symposium it is aimed that students will have:

* knowledge about patient-centred care and the importance of multi-disciplinary partnerships

* knowledge about multi-disciplinary healthcare and how it can be implemented

* knowledge about healthcare students' role in educational reform

* knowledge about health promotion

* motivation to be advocates and activists for patient-centred health care and effective multi-disciplinary teamwork, including in health promotion

* an understanding of and commitment to international student cooperation on these issues

Theme

In order for us to achieve these objectives the following theme for this event was chosen: The theme of this symposium is 'Urgent Care'. Multidisciplinary teamwork is viewed as one of the key processes through which care is managed and yet is often viewed as one of the most problematic. Working in a multidisciplinary team requires many skills, which involves understanding not only one's own role but also the role of other professionals. The area in which this is clearly visible is in situation where Urgent Care is needed. A non functioning multidiciplinary team will in a worse case scenario ultimately result in death of the patient in need of Urgent Care.

Methods

The following methods will be used to combine the theme and the objectives mentioned above:

* Informative and high-quality lectures

* Interactive workshops

* Teamwork simulations

* Skills training

* Poster presentations

* Exchange of cultural experiences
