With a little over 3 months to go, anticipation is building for the 17th WFCBiennial Congress, which takes place October 11-14 in Gold Coast, Australia

This year's Congress promises to be the best ever, with over 60 speakers from around the world having confirmed their attendance

The Congress, which takes place at the prestigious Gold Coast Conference and Exhibition Centre, offers state of the art facilities, being just a short walk from the preferred congress hotels.

Our Congress theme of 'Let's Start With The Patient' reflects the need to be people-centered and acknowledges the central role that this plays in the provision of chiropractic care, regardless of the part of the world or environment in which that care is being delivered.

The spectacular Gold Coast Conference and Exhibition Centre will play host to the 17th WFC Biennial Congress This state of the art facility is located in the upscale Broadbeach area of Gold Coast, close to our recommended hotels and within easy reach of the world famous, sun-kissed beaches.

Over the course of three packed days, our academic program will take attendees on a journey covering various facets of people-centered care. These include equity, diversity and inclusion, the patient experience, contextual factors, personalized packages of care, delivery of care across the life course, patient safety, communication and social determinants of care

Our opening speaker will be Dr Dinesh Palipana. Dr Pilapana is a spinal cord injured paraplegic emergency doctor at Gold Coast University Hospital. He has spoken and written extensively about his experience both as a patient and a health care professional, and will share his thoughts on people-centered care seen through different lenses.

Dr Mufudzi Chihambakwe, president of the African Chiropractic Federation, will speak on providing chiropractic care to underserved communities, and Professor Andrew Briggs, consultant to the World Health Organization, will describe the global strategy for the provision of musculoskeletal care.

We will hear the perspectives of truly international panel members who will discuss and debate factors related to people-centered chiropractic care
