Executive Development Programme (EDP)
EDP is an intensive study programme designed specifically for senior health insurance leaders to broaden their understanding of the world’s health systems and payer strategies.

Offering direct and unparalleled access to leading health plans and expert industry speakers, the programme provides a unique opportunity to forge relationships with colleagues and experts from all over the world.

Join us for an enriching experience exploring prominent health plans in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada and Europe
Why Attend?

EDP delegates participate in a global study tour, organised in two separate parts. Delegates are able to see and hear first-hand how health markets function around the world and how the private health insurance industry works within markets to achieve outstanding health outcomes for their members.

Travelling as a group, participants benefit from learning from each other while building a valuable personal network that can endure for years to come.
