A First-of-Its-Kind Conference
Malpractice 2026 is the inaugural edition of a new international conference series dedicated to the multidisciplinary analysis of medical malpractice.
It creates a focused platform where medicine, forensic science, law, healthcare management, patient safety, and professional responsibility are discussed together. With each edition focusing on a specific medical field, the 2026 conference will address Obstetrics & Gynecology, one of the most important and sensitive areas in medico-legal practice.
Truly International & Multidisciplinary
Malpractice cannot be understood from a single perspective.
This conference brings together clinicians, forensic medicine specialists, legal professionals, academics, researchers, insurers, risk managers, hospital administrators, and policy-makers. By creating a shared platform for these different fields, Malpractice 2026 encourages meaningful dialogue across professional, institutional, and national boundaries.
Participants, speakers, and committee members are expected from across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and beyond, making the conference a valuable space for international comparison and professional exchange.
Deep Focus on Obstetrics & Gynecology
Obstetrics and gynecology carries one of the highest medico-legal risk profiles in all of medicine. This conference goes beyond the surface, examining real clinical scenarios, forensic evaluation methods, legal frameworks, and compensation systems from an international comparative perspective — giving you knowledge and tools you can apply immediately in your professional practice.
High-Level Scientific Program
The conference will feature keynote lectures, scientific sessions, case-based discussions, panel debates, oral presentations, and poster presentations.
The scientific program is designed to support rigorous academic exchange while also addressing practical questions faced by professionals in real-world malpractice cases. Sessions will encourage discussion between different disciplines, helping participants understand how clinical facts, forensic interpretation, legal standards, and institutional responsibilities interact in malpractice evaluation.
Valuable Networking Opportunities
