A global quality improvement community
Using our combined expertise and passion, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and BMJ Group bring you the largest international conference in Europe focused on improving outcomes for patients and communities through quality improvement.
From 300 people meeting in London in 1996 to thousands of 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 International Forum in Oslo will focus on the key themes in health and care in Europe, while bringing in perspectives and knowledge from around the world.
