The Future Proof Conference aims to provide healthcare professionals with insight into the challenges and solutions related to future-proof healthcare. Through plenary lectures, interactive discussions, and multidisciplinary breakout sessions, participants are encouraged to think critically about the organization of healthcare, the sustainable employability of healthcare professionals, and the implementation of innovations in clinical practice. The program combines scientific insights, administrative perspectives, and real-world examples.

During the morning plenary session, the future of healthcare will be examined from a societal and administrative perspective, followed by an interactive discussion with the participants. In the afternoon, participants will take part in one of the thematic breakout sessions:

• Appropriate Care: How can we ensure that we make the most of healthcare capacity? This session focuses on making appropriate and effective choices within the healthcare system, with an emphasis on meaningful care, efficiency, and the implementation of policy in daily practice. Can computer models show us exactly what care we should provide during times of scarcity?
• Innovation and transformation: How can we ensure that the healthcare system remains resilient and future-proof, given the growing demand for care, an aging population, and staffing shortages? This session focuses on innovative solutions to make the healthcare sector more resilient to staffing shortages. Can machines and computers complement human workers?

During the plenary feedback session, the key insights from the breakout sessions are shared and translated into practical recommendations for the participants. The closing session, featuring two presentations, offers additional inspiration on leadership, change, and future-oriented thinking within complex organizations. Future-proof healthcare also requires professionals and teams who can learn, adapt, and thrive in a constantly changing environment. Scientific insights and practical strategies that can be directly applied in daily healthcare practice will be discussed. The conference encourages active participation, interprofessional learning, and knowledge exchange among healthcare providers, administrators, researchers, and policymakers.
