Author: Rhonda Johnson: AAHP Secretary

The Australasian Association of Health Partners (AAHP) has been announced as an official event partner for the 12th European Healthcare Design Congress, strengthening global collaboration in the design of better, more equitable health systems and infrastructure.

Taking place from 15-17 June in Westminster, London, the Congress will convene international leaders across healthcare, design, research, and policy to explore how evidence-based design and planning can transform care delivery and improve patient outcomes. AAHP’s involvement brings a vital Australasian perspective to the programme, highlighting the region’s leadership in integrating research, clinical practice, infrastructure, and system innovation.

AAHP’s contribution extends to the European Healthcare Design 2026 Awards, an integral part of the Congress programme recognising excellence in healthcare infrastructure, research, innovation and design. Dr Rhonda Kerr will represent AAHP both as a member of the congress programme committee and as lead judge for the new Excellence in Healthcare Planning category. This award recognises outstanding planning that improves access, efficiency and patient outcomes through integrated, future-focused approaches.

As an event partner, AAHP’s participation underscores the importance of international partnerships in tackling shared global health challenges. AAHP members are also invited to participate in the Congress through an exclusive event partner discount, supporting greater participation from the Australasian region.

With its strong focus on collaboration, knowledge exchange and real-world impact, the 12th European Healthcare Design Congress offers a unique platform to connect global expertise. AAHP’s partnership, and Dr Kerr’s leadership on the programme and awards committees, further strengthens the Congress as a truly global forum shaping the future of healthcare design.
