Virtual Event: Hospital Workers’ Wellbeing Matters
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major toll on people’s wellbeing worldwide, as they are having to face challenges such as social distancing, loneliness, and the threat of deadly infectious disease outbreaks. For hospital workers and other health service providers, these challenges and the additional stress of working in a prolonged “crisis situation” have increased documented mental health problems.
As the pandemic progresses, the current and projected scale of distress among healthcare workers is alarming. It is widely recognized that healthcare professionals need enhanced support to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current and future wellbeing.
The International Hospital Federation (IHF) and the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) recognize the pivotal need of exchanges of experiences, ideas and challenges of industry leaders in addressing this which is why they are hosting the virtual conference “Hospital Workers’ Wellbeing Matters“ on 23 February 2021. The event will delve into:
- Global perspective on hospital and health system employee wellbeing;
- Good practices and innovations from hospitals around the globe;
- Successful programs from other industries;

Virtual Forum: Learning from COVID-19
COVID-19 has heavily impacted health service delivery around the world to an extent unlike any before in such a short period of time. This situation calls for the health service community to support each other by sharing experiences, learning from each other and collectively brainstorming on solutions.
The International Hospital Federation will be conducting their first-ever virtual forum: Learning from COVID-19, Transforming Health Services on 4-5 November to discuss insights from the crisis, address key questions on strategies for the new normal, and explore how health services are transforming for the future.
The event will bring hospital and healthcare leaders and executives together to discuss and share about topics including:
- Role of leadership in times of crisis
- Human resource management
- Deploying digital solutions
- Enhancing organizational agility
- Maintaining quality when facing chaos
- Infection prevention control
- Financing hospitals
- Hospitals of the new normal
- Healthcare delivery and access
- Supply, logistics, and infrastructure
With the postponement of the 44th IHF World Hospital Congress in Barcelona to 2021, this forum will serve as a pitstop to the annual conference and an opportunity to interact with the international community.
You can now secure your slot by registering online here. HPH members are offered an exclusive early bird registration discount rate of CHF 150 (contact the HPH Secretariat for discount code). Early bird registration ends on 30 September.
