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 London 2024 theme: Together to Regenerate Health and Care
As we explore quality improvement projects from across the UK and the globe in London next year, we aim to ignite a collective effort to regenerate health and care.
We are working on a groundbreaking programme, expected to launch in December 2023. The programme will 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 that we plan to deliver, we seek to harness the potential of places, cutting-edge technologies, and fresh perspectives to redefine health for populations.
We will also continue to address the social determinants of health, recognizing that true progress in health outcomes requires tackling the root causes.
Join the largest gathering of health and care improvers in Europe: 10-12 April 2024, London
