Our recommendations for improvement leaders
Some of the programme will be of specific interest to those leading quality improvement (QI) at organisational, system or national level. They will tackle key challenges such as workforce, as well as look deeper into new methodologies to support scale and the spread of change.
All sessions below are targeted at those with leadership roles in improvement and will include opportunities to meet practitioners from different types of organisations and countries across the world. Our recommendations include a mixture of workshop and lecture-based content.
