Choose the format that best fits your work
Abstracts may be submitted for a range of presentation formats, from concise discussion-led sessions to longer interactive workshops. Each format is designed to support meaningful exchange, shared learning and engagement across the ATBH community.
Classic Presentation
Classic presentations provide an opportunity to share completed research, educational innovations, practice developments or policy work in a structured format. Presenters will have dedicated time to introduce their work, describe key findings or lessons learned, and highlight implications for interprofessional education and collaborative practice.
Agora Presentation
Agora presentations are short, focused sessions designed to spark conversation, exchange and discussion around key issues. Presenters will have five minutes and two slides to introduce a key idea, question, innovation or finding, followed by extended time for discussion with delegates. This format is ideal for emerging work, community support or topics that would benefit from collective reflection.
Poster Presentation
Poster presentations offer a visual and accessible way to share projects, research, innovations and early-stage work with the conference community. Posters encourage informal discussion, networking and feedback, allowing presenters to engage directly with delegates around their work and its relevance to IPECP.
Workshop / Panel Session
Workshops and panel sessions provide space for deeper engagement with a topic, challenge or area of practice. These sessions may include interactive activities, facilitated discussion, collaborative problem-solving or multiple perspectives from a panel. They are particularly suited to work that encourages participation, debate and shared learning across disciplines, sectors and contexts.
Collaborative Virtues: Building Resilient Teams Through Shared Values
In the evolving landscape of interprofessional education, collaboration grounded in shared values and ethical principles is essential for addressing today’s complex healthcare challenges. The conference theme, “Collaborative Virtues: Building Resilient Teams Through Shared Values,” bridges the timeless principles of Stoicism, which originated in Cyprus through Zeno of Citium in around 300BC, with modern practices in IPE to foster ethical, resilient, and effective teamwork.
At the heart of this theme are four integrated virtues that reflect both Stoic philosophy and the goals of IPE:
Through this lens, the conference theme emphasizes how these Stoic virtues — wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance — developed by the ancient philosophical tradition in Cyprus can transform interprofessional education. By cultivating wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, IPE participants can navigate ethical dilemmas, improve communication, and build resilient teams that excel in diverse and complex environments.
This theme invites educators, practitioners, and students to engage with workshops, discussions, and case studies that explore these virtues in action. Sessions will highlight how Stoic principles can guide interprofessional collaboration, offering practical strategies to enhance learning, improve outcomes, and address real-world challenges.
Ultimately, “Collaborative Virtues: Building Resilient Teams Through Shared Values” is a call to action. It challenges the IPE community to integrate these virtues into their practice, inspiring a culture of excellence, ethical collaboration, and shared purpose. By bridging ancient wisdom with modern practice, the conference will empower participants to build teams that are not only effective but also aligned with enduring values, ready to face the complexities of today’s interconnected world.
Four virtues shaping the ATBH XII conversation
WISDOM: Cultivating Insight for Collaborative Practice in Complex Systems
At the heart of collaborative healthcare lies the ability to think critically, act judiciously, and make sense of complexity together. We invite submissions that explore how interprofessional education and collaborative practice nurture reflection, sound judgement, and shared decision-making in uncertain and evolving contexts.

Meaningful collaboration often begins with the courage to speak, to listen across difference, and to challenge the conditions that silence or divide. We welcome submissions that examine how interprofessional education can foster open communication, psychological safety, leadership, advocacy, and constructive engagement with hierarchy, conflict, and risk.

Equitable collaboration requires more than participation; it calls for a careful examination of whose voices are heard, whose knowledge is valued, and how power is distributed. We encourage critical and creative submissions that explore how interprofessional education and practice can promote fairness, inclusion, and meaningful involvement across professions, patients, and communities.
