Join the international healthcare improvement movement
Using our combined expertise and passion, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and BMJ bring you one of the largest international conferences focused on improving outcomes for people and communities through quality improvement.
Join us in Melbourne to kick start or continue your quality improvement growth and get the support network to help you drive your improvement strategies.
Our programme theme in Melbourne is People powered change – a healthier life, a fairer system, a sustainable future and it will show how transforming healthcare is only possible when everyone comes together to power change. We will:
- Learn how to involve, inspire, and innovate across borders and organisations
- Explore how senior leaders can support people, places, and systems to mobilise for change
- Learn how to equip people closest to the issues to develop capability for sustainable, spreadable innovation
- Create lasting improvements suited to the needs of everyone’s lives now and in the future.
