World Carers

World Carers Conversation

13-17 December 2020 

COVID-19 has created new opportunities to re-examine the way that health care is delivered and the role of family caregivers in supporting better patient outcomes. Much like the WHO’s COVAX initiative to share data and research on caregiving and COVID-19, global partners in caregiving can offer insight and learnings that may make solutions for families more readily accessible to other caregiving communities around the world. The World Carers Conversation, to be convened from Sunday, 13 December 2020 through Wednesday, 16 December 2020, will showcase cutting edge caregiving research, innovation, and impact around the world as we collectively face the fallout from the global pandemic. This event will be hosted by the National Alliance for Caregiving and is made possible through the support of the Embracing Carers movement.

Registrants will have the opportunity to attend any day of the 5-day event:

• Sunday, 13 December 2020 12-2 PM EST (GMT+5) – Welcome and Opening Musical Reception
• Monday, 14 December 2020 3-6 PM EST (GMT +5) – Caregiving in the Americas
