Held in the beautiful and historic city of Lisbon (Portugal), the event brought together a global community of young family medicine professionals under the main theme of ‘Future-proofing family medicine.’ The atmosphere was one of collaboration and shared purpose, as over 300 attendees from 58 countries to discuss the pressing issues shaping the future of our speciality.
