Educators across all health professions, including academics, veterinary surgeons, medical practitioners, dentists, and other healthcare professionals are working in increasingly pressured environments. Within these service providers, workforce shortages and rising service demands continue to challenge the delivery of high-quality education. This year’s AoME Annual Conference will examine how we protect and sustain educational excellence in the face of these realities, and how we uphold the professional values and learner support that underpin safe, compassionate care.

The programme will explore practical strategies for maintaining educational quality when resources are stretched, and for enabling both learners and educators to thrive during periods of organisational strain. Alongside these system pressures, we will place emphasis on our collective responsibility to strengthen education in under-resourced settings, and to actively support education and training in areas of conflict.

We warmly welcome abstracts aligned with these themes, including research, innovation, and practice-based insights. Submissions from all healthcare educators across medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and the wider health professions are encouraged. Posters, short communications, and workshops are all invited.
