HEART OF MEDICINE 2027
An International Gathering of Compassionate Leaders in Medicine
15 - 17 September 2027
Voyagers Ayers Rock Resort, Central Australia
THE BEATING HEART OF MEDICINE IS PEOPLE:
PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS
Back by popular demand and upgraded for clinicians and healthcare leaders who are creating a more healing healthcare system for patients, and for healthcare workers.
Join the collective effervescence that is the Heart of Medicine for inspiration, encouragement, vision, motivation, partnership. Join us for a few days in September 2027 or for the whole year!
People in survival mode do not challenge the status quo or create anything new, they are flat our surviving. To create and generate something new we need space and time to experiment, to play. We need a community of peers who also value a safe, brave space and who are curious and willing to test ideas.
In 2027 we return to the heart of Australia to learn much more about how we can collectively embed compassion into every facet of healthcare.
In 2026 we went broad inviting everyone.
In 2027 we are going deep with the facilitators and the focus you asked for. More time together, more specific, practical action to take back home.
The Heart of Medicine community is grounded in CARE, your commitment to humanity, to human-centred healthcare, to validating each other’s experience, to understanding that compassion is a survival mechanism as core futures as the fight-flight response.
Join this incredible community in the heart of Australia at one of our most spectacular locations one more time.
Learn from some of the world's most heart led medical leaders in compassionate care about how heart centred healthcare can empower and heal healthcare workers and their patients.
This event is for Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health Clinicians, Healthcare Leaders, Coaches and Supervisors of Medics, Patient Advocates and all healthcare workers.
This is not your ordinary conference.
THE BEATING HEART OF MEDICINE IS PEOPLE:
PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS
Getting the balance right in the art and science of medicine is vital for healthcare worker wellbeing and for patient outcomes.
Healthcare workers who have strong inter and intrapersonal skills have better relationships with their colleagues, and their patients, and they enjoy longer, more fulfilling careers.
The art of medicine, the purpose of healthcare, is deeply rooted in heart centred care. Care that seeks to relieve suffering. Compassion is a renewable resource, hardwired into humans for survival. Healthcare is better when compassion is at the heart of medicine.
