The International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare
Jointly organised by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and BMJ, the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare has a rich history of supporting and energising the international movement for health and care improvement.
From 300 people meeting in London in 1996 to over 5000 improvers attending the International Forum events every year, the conference is the place to hear and meet some of the world’s brightest minds and forge relationships that drive improvement and innovation in health and care across the world.

The programme in London
Our programme theme in London is ‘Together to Regenerate Healthcare‘. As we explore quality improvement projects from across the UK and the globe, we aim to ignite a collective effort to regenerate health and care.
Both our in-person and online programmes showcase inspirational improvement work from all sectors and discuss how we can create a system of health and care that truly meets the needs of our communities.
Through the programme, we seek to harness the potential of places, cutting-edge technologies, and fresh perspectives to redefine health for populations. We also continue to address the social determinants of health, recognizing that true progress in health outcomes requires tackling the root causes.
