Practices of Care: Collaboration between University of Westminster and Imperial College | Friday, June 11, 2021 at 17:00 (BST)

Please join us on 11 JUNE 21 @ 5 pm (UK time) for an online panel discussion on Practices of Care, reflecting on a Co-Production Workshop held between the University of Westminster and Imperial College London.

How does one educate a professional – an architect, a doctor? Competencies are one thing, but what about qualities such as ethics, or duty of care? Is a key skill of being an architect or a clinician the ability to listen to a variety of stakeholders and work collaboratively?

Practices of Care bring together a panel of architects and doctors, to discuss what it might mean to be a caring professional and what the two disciplines can learn from each other.

The event is part of the London Festival of Architecture.

Please register using the Eventbrite link below. Details on how to attend will be provided on Eventbrite.
