The theme is ‘Community-based Change and Innovation’! 

The aim is to explore the impacts of communities across the globe on healthcare and to consider the role of community in the future of healthcare.  

In particular, this year’s competition focusses on the influence of arts and culture, increasing life expectancy and the ‘post pandemic experience’ on healthcare provision and behaviour, and is an opportunity to reflect on how these areas could influence sustainable healthcare solutions.
