The first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care: Knowledge(s) and Innovations for Health in Changing Societies. Abstract Book

Abstract

This is the abstract book for the first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care (GCPCC), taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 13th–16th May, 2024. The conference has been organized by the University of Gothenburg’s Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC), which has been conducting research and supporting knowledge utilisation on person-centred care as a strategic government-funded research area since the centre was inaugurated in 2010. Within the conference theme, Knowledge(s) and Innovation for Health in Changing Societies, this book presents all abstract contributions presented by invited expert keynote speakers, workshops, panels/symposia as well as oral and poster presentations. Together, the book presents almost 250 abstracts. The theme reflects the relevance of various types of knowledge to further person-centred care and contributions include empirical, theoretical, literature reviews, practice-based examples, as well as art, performance and media. In this way the GCPCC signals the importance of reaching out to and fostering collaborations and partnerships globally among the various actors in the field of person-centred care.
