📣 Registration for HHRC 2026 is now open!! Marking its 25th year, this year’s theme, “Belief at the Bedside: How Faith Shapes Healthcare”, focuses on how beliefs, values, and personal worldviews—religious and non-religious—shape patient care, clinical decision-making, and the healthcare system more broadly.

Through keynote speakers, panel discussions, small-group sessions, and the Travill Debates across a two-day program, the conference will explore topics such as consent, MAiD, vaccine delivery, cultural safety, clinician wellness, and the historical and ongoing role of faith in healthcare institutions.

By bringing together clinicians, ethicists, scholars, advocates, and individuals with lived experience from Queen’s and beyond, HHRC aims to create a respectful space for thoughtful discussion, support the development of religious literacy in clinical settings, and encourage reflection on how personal values intersect with professional practice in the pursuit of equitable, patient-centred care.

✅ Mark March 28-29 in your calendars! Visit our website https://www.queens-hhrc.com/ for more information! Register at link in bio.
