More information and registration → 5 November EUHA Members’ Assembly Symposium “Crisis Preparedness” Crisis preparedness is becoming increasingly critical for university hospitals, where complex infrastructure, research, education, and highly specialised care must continue under challenging circumstances. A special event will bring together key perspectives on hospital infrastructure under threat, cybersecurity, climate-related risks, as well as the workforce and human factors in crisis response. For university hospitals, strengthening resilience means not only preparing systems and infrastructure, but also ensuring that people, knowledge and critical services can adapt and respond effectively when crises occur. 4–6 November Focusing on Our Unique Impact: EUHA Working Groups and Networks EUHA brings together experts from across university hospitals to collaborate on projects that drive real-world innovation, improve patient care and help shape the future of healthcare. This collaborative spirit will be on full display during our November events at Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), where several EUHA Working Groups and Networks will meet. From 4–6 November, members will come together for a full programme of meetings, discussions and knowledge exchange. The Nursing Network will meet alongside the MDR/IVDR Network, Innovation Network, Midwifery Network and HR Directors Network, providing an opportunity for experts to share experiences, explore common challenges and identify areas for collaboration across European university hospitals. 6 November EUHA Members’ Assembly and EUHA Presidency The November Members’ Assembly will conclude with the ceremonial handover of the EUHA Presidency, as Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris passes the role to Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
