Gauthier Martinez, Coordinator of the Scientific Committee for People 4 Health, alongside the Quinze Mai teams, explains why this new event is the answer to the current challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
In a context where the primary resource of the healthcare system—its people—is under significant strain, the People 4 Health Salon positions itself as a must-attend event to rethink and support healthcare professionals. Gauthier Martinez, Director of Health Partnerships at MNH, along with the Quinze Mai teams who conceived the event, coordinate the Scientific Committee for this inaugural edition. They aim to create a dedicated space for sharing innovations and practical solutions to improve the quality of life and working conditions of caregivers and to enhance their retention.
Why is this Salon and its themes essential for the healthcare system today?
People 4 Health is the first exhibition in France exclusively dedicated to health, quality of life and working conditions (QLWC), and the retention of healthcare professionals, whether from public, private, or independent sectors. The event will feature dedicated spaces focusing on human resources management, innovation, and caregiver well-being, highlighting initiatives and best practices to improve the daily lives of professionals and safeguard their health and workplace well-being. More broadly, this Salon is a meeting and sharing platform for all stakeholders in the healthcare system, including professionals, decision-makers, and entrepreneurs. We aim to create an environment conducive to collaboration, where participants can discover the best tools and innovations to support healthcare workers, foster professional fulfillment, and, ultimately, enhance the quality of care delivered.
What will be the central theme of this first edition?
The current context naturally leads us to focus on a critical theme for the healthcare system: "Being and Remaining a Healthcare Professional." For the Scientific Committee, which I coordinate alongside the Quinze Mai teams, choosing this topic was far from trivial at a time when our healthcare system is suffering due to the strain on its most critical resource: its people. "Who will care for us tomorrow?" This was the question we asked ourselves. The field is undeniably a source of inspiration because, yes, positive changes are happening, and some stakeholders are rising brilliantly to the challenge. However, today, fostering a desire to remain in the healthcare profession requires strengthening collective, multidisciplinary, and multi-professional engagement. We chose to invest alongside these healthcare actors because no effort is too small when it comes to improving the daily lives of those who care for us. This is our conviction.
Why should we visit the People 4 Health Salon?
People 4 Health addresses the need to provide concrete solutions to a fundamental sector of our society—healthcare. Everyone will find value in attending because everyone is connected to it. Healthcare professionals will discover the latest technological innovations and have the opportunity to share knowledge and expertise with recognized experts through roundtables, conferences, and demonstrations. For businesses, it is an exceptional opportunity to promote innovations serving healthcare professionals, showcase their products and services, meet potential partners, and better understand market needs and expectations.
We have designed an environment conducive to collaboration, where participants can build strong connections and grow their activities. Consequently, People 4 Health will lay the foundation for a robust partnership network, supporting efforts and reinforcing synergies between healthcare stakeholders.
