📢 Save the Date – PULPIT Final Conference

🗓 29–30 October 2026
📍 School of Nursing, University of Lisbon

“The Missing Voices in Healthcare Education.”

For too long, lived experience has been sidelined in healthcare education.
It’s time to bring it to the centre.

The PULPIT Final Conference will bring together patients, educators, students, healthcare professionals, researchers and members of the wider community to explore how meaningful partnership can transform the way we teach and learn.

The PULPIT project, a European initiative focused on strengthening patient and public involvement in healthcare education and advancing interprofessional learning, has been working to make this vision a reality.

At this conference, you will:
✨ Engage with the key results and impact of the PULPIT project
🎤 Hear selected abstract presentations
🤝 Exchange perspectives across disciplines
🧩 Explore practical approaches to partnership in education

📄 Abstract submissions will open ahead of the event.
💻 A dedicated website with full programme and registration details is coming soon.
🟢 Registration will be open to the entire community.

This is more than a final event.
It’s a space to rethink healthcare education, together.

If you believe lived experience belongs at the heart of learning, we hope to see you there.

✨New Microlearning Module Available!

“Existing Experiences of Patient and Public Involvement and Interprofessional Education in Healthcare”
🕒 Duration: 1h 45m

We’re excited to launch a new microlearning module that explores how Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Interprofessional Education (IPE) are transforming healthcare learning.

Patient involvement brings real-world experiences directly into the classroom, helping bridge the gap between theory and practice. It enhances empathy, strengthens communication, and supports the development of truly person-centred care. When lived experiences shape education, learning becomes more relevant, impactful, and aligned with the realities of healthcare.

What’s included:
🎥 Recorded video content
📖 Concise reading materials
📝 Interactive exercises to reinforce learning

This module is ideal for educators, students, and healthcare professionals looking to deepen their understanding of PPI and IPE — and to integrate these approaches more effectively into their teaching and practice.
