CANCELLED: Unfortunately, we have to cancel the congress due to a low number of registrations. We deeply regret this, as the scientific program «Co-creation: Collaborative innovations in healthcare» is very rich.

Co-creation and its key role for collaborative innovations in healthcare – this is the theme of the Swiss Congress for Health Professions 2024. We, OST – University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland, are organizing this congress together with the Health Conference of the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences.

In view of rising costs, limited personnel resources and growing demands for high-quality care, the topic of co-creation is becoming increasingly relevant. It is an integrative approach to the sustainable and holistic improvement of the healthcare system.
We would like to discuss co-creation with you from the perspective of research, practice, and theory. The following questions will be central:

• What does co-creation mean for the healthcare sector?
• How can co-creation work?
• How does collaborative practice influence healthcare outcomes?
• How can collaborative approaches and strategies influence and improve the well-being and
  working conditions of healthcare professionals?
