Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are honoured to welcome you to the international conference Well-Being for Doctors (WBD), taking place on 14–16 November 2026 in the inspiring city of Valencia, Spain.

WBD 2026 addresses one of the most urgent and essential priorities in global healthcare today: the well-being of physicians and the professionals who sustain our medical systems.

We recognize high toll of burnout, moral distress, and systemic pressures experienced across the healthcare landscape worldwide. Meeting at WBD marks an important step in our shared commitment to advancing physician well-being and fostering healthier, more sustainable medical systems. 

The conference explores two key dimensions:
• Strengthening personal well-being through evidence-based tools and methods
• Institutionalizing well-being through supportive structures, culture and policies at the organizational and system levels

This high-level event welcomes physicians, healthcare leaders, hospital department heads, HR professionals in healthcare, medical associations, organizations, and industry partners—anyone involved in building or supporting the healthcare ecosystem.

Ensuring physician well-being in today’s demanding clinical environment is not optional; it is a priority and a shared responsibility across the healthcare community.

We invite you to join us for a dynamic and forward-looking forum designed to support, empower, and inspire — advancing a healthier, sustainable future for those who care for others.

We look forward to seeing you at WBD 2026!
