2026 Telehealth Symposium

2026 Virtual Hospital Symposium findings

Earlier this year we held a two-day hybrid event across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, bringing together health leaders to share insights from virtual care initiatives and co-design a model for Aotearoa’s future Virtual Hospital. Thank you to our keynote speakers Dr John Pawlovich, Dr Jim Marcin and Dr Kendall Ho for joining us from overseas and sharing their valuable insights and expertise at this event. Your contributions have greatly enriched the dialogue and broadened our global perspective. We also wish to thank all presenters and participants whose time, effort and knowledge helped make this event both engaging and impactful.

The rich discussions and perspectives shared throughout the event have directly informed the development of the Virtual Hospital Symposium Key Themes and Strategic Insights document, capturing key themes, challenges and emerging opportunities in telehealth. This resource reflects the collective expertise and thoughtful contributions of our speakers and participants, and serves as a valuable reference for ongoing learning and collaboration. We encourage everyone to take the time to read the document and continue the conversation as we work together to advance the future of telehealth. Download the document here.
