# Call for Learning Sessions proposals (Firm deadline of January 27, 2025  - 5 PM EST)

The Alliance's Annual Conference 2025 is anchored in our collective commitment to put people at the centre of primary health care. This year's theme, "Put People at the Centre: Advancing Accessible and Sustainable Primary Health Care in Ontario", emphasizes the necessity of ensuring that Ontario's healthcare system remains both accessible and sustainable for everyone, particularly as we navigate the complexities of current and future challenges.

At the heart of this conference lies the question: What does it mean to design health care that truly places people at the center of every decision? We will explore how to create services, programs, and policies that are not only resilient and adaptable but also equitable. Key topics will include enhancing access for all Ontarians, building health system sustainability, and amplifying the voices of the most marginalized populations in shaping healthcare's future. We aim to address pressing issues such as people-centred primary care, integrated and connected care, centering the whole person, and evolving health equity needs to forge a healthcare system that is inclusive and futureproof.

The Conference is designed for primary health care professionals, community leaders, policymakers, and system partners. It will foster a collaborative environment for learning and innovation, driving forward solutions that make Ontario's healthcare system more accessible and centered around the communities it serves.

Our goal is to cultivate a dynamic space for connection, learning, and action. Delegates will be encouraged to engage in forward-thinking discussions while integrating new research findings and evidence-informed practices that yield tangible results.

We are now accepting proposals Learning Sessions (workshops, panels, practice spotlights, and posters).

Share your insights, evidence-informed practices, and innovative solutions that contribute to a future where Ontario’s health care system is truly people-centered.
