Join us for the Religion and Spirituality in Healthcare Conference from 14–17 October 2025. We’ve created a flexible registration structure so that you can attend the parts of the event that best suit your interests and availability.

You may choose to:

Attend one day of the conference (15 or 16 October),
Attend the 2-day conference package (15–16 October),
Join us only for the Research Workshop (14 October),

We highly recommend attending the full 2-day conference, as well as the Research Workshop and Cocktail Dinner, to gain the most value from the sessions and community engagement.
