The second Global Conference on Person-Centred Care: Bridging Practice, Organisation and Governance

Abstract

This is the abstract book for the second Global Conference on Person-Centred Care (GCPCC) with the theme Bridging Practice, Organisation and Governance. The conference will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 4th to 7th May, 2026 and has been organised by the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) – a strategic government-funded area in healthcare research since 2010. The GCPCC provides a recurring international arena and platform for diverse individuals interested in furthering person-centred care in the broadest sense, i.e. care and social care from practice and organisation to governance and inter-interrelationships thereof. The theme reflects the current maturity of our field, spanning from practice at the point of care, integrated pathways and organisations to governance and macro-level perspectives. This book presents all abstract contributions presented by the invited expert keynote speakers, pre-conference workshops, and workshops, panels/symposia, as well as oral and poster presentations selected on the basis of expert reviews of submitted abstracts. In total, the book presents over 300 abstracts.
