Plenary
Health by design – the road to wellbeing
Friday 7 October 2011 13:00 – 15:30, Kursaal A

The road to wellbeing requires more than vision. It is not a random outcome, health is achieved by designing the right building blocks to get us there. Let us consider where we are today on our road to tomorrow’s wellbeing. Are we developing the appropriate tools, policy approaches, and relationships to achieve tomorrow’s goals? Are we building effective health strategies amid continued economic uncertainty? Are we investing in the right technological innovations for future health and social needs? Are we breaking new frontiers in stakeholder engagement to involve the right actors?
