Abstract
With increasing global connectivity, the impact of an event travels across today's world with the speed of a broadband internet connection. The relevance of national borders is dwindling, and people and determinants of health flow freely in every direction. It is no longer possible to address healthcare in the UK without taking a global view. This timely conference followed a series of publications including Lord Crisp's Global health partnerships and Sir Liam Donaldson's Health is global: proposals for a government-wide strategy.1,2 The ambitious programme drew together a range of key players in global health who addressed many challenges facing those working in the field, and proposed positive measures to take old and new collaborations forward. The conference was energetic and facilitated networking and sharing of ideas between politicians, policy makers and clinicians. The eminence of the speakers and enthusiasm of the delegates highlighted the abundance of expertise, political will, and sheer number of healthcare professionals with an interest in global health.
