2026 MBChB Education Conference

Conference themes

This year’s conference will focus on social responsibility and our opportunities to work together for change, including:

• Social accountability - the role of medical schools, medical students and doctors in society.
• Social responsibility and community engagement - building connections beyond the University, medical student community involvement projects; working with patient and community groups to enhance medical education.
• Global heath education and sustainability - preparing graduates to deliver equitable healthcare in a rapidly changing global environment shaped by climate change, population mobility, widening inequalities and interconnected health systems.
• Equity, diversity and inclusion in medical education – inclusive teaching, tackling awarding gaps.
• Professionalism and professional identity formation.
