Healthcare is connected to every aspect of society. We rely on highly trained clinicians to keep us healthy using their extensive knowledge and progressively more advanced clinical tools and resources.

But clinicians the world over are facing many challenges. Caring for a growing (and aging) population, keeping up to date with the latest medical information and health technology, and responding the needs of more empowered patients have all increased pressure on healthcare professionals.

Elsevier Health colleagues have developed the Clinician of the Future report to explore global trends and changes that will impact the future of healthcare. We engaged with nearly 3,000 clinicians from 111 countries to ask what healthcare will look like in 10 years’ time — and how we can address the challenges to come.

LEADING TOPICS:

• Addressing clinician burnout
• The impact of digital health and technology
• Evolving skillsets for nurses and doctors
• Focus on prevention
