Our recommendations for those with experience in QI
There is a wealth of programme content for delegates with an understanding of quality improvement methodology who have also worked on or developed quality improvement projects in their organisation.
We have segmented our recommendations based on topic, but you can mix and match between them depending on your special areas of interest.
Our topic recommendations
INTEGRATED CARE
Integrated care is about putting people at the heart of our systems and providing a joined-up approach to care. It removes traditional divisions between hospitals and primary care, between physical and mental health, and emphasises providing the right care in the right place at the right time.
Taking our lead from Sweden, but also including international examples, sessions in this route will demonstrate international examples of integrated care in practice.
