Format: Workshop

Whether you are a professional or a provider, you will inevitably interact with local or national regulators. Regulation is essential for maintaining quality and safety in healthcare systems worldwide. However, effective regulation in a rapidly changing world presents significant challenges for all.

Using scientific evidence and practical experiences, we will discuss how and when regulation can positively impact quality and safety. You will learn from national regulators and leading researchers from England, Norway, and the Netherlands. Step into the shoes of a regulator and experience firsthand the challenges and opportunities faced in today’s regulatory environment.

The day is structured around four interactive sessions:

1. Navigating the landscape of regulation: learn about the science behind regulation, explore differences between countries and discover how you engage different perspectives in goalsetting.


2. Making an impact as a regulator: find out about the importance of choosing the right activity to drive improvement and your role in making regulation successful


3. Promoting a just culture as a regulator: explore the significance of addressing intangible factors like culture and how they can shape the design of regulation.


4. Experience the future of regulation: Participate in a hands-on simulation to envision the future of healthcare regulation.

Be part of this experience day dedicated to healthcare regulation. This event is ideal for professionals looking to deepen their understanding of regulatory practices, engage in discussions with diverse perspectives, and develop strategies for future challenges.
