National Clinical Governance Conference: Tomorrow's World
NHS QIS is holding their third national Clinical Governance Conference: ‘Tomorrow’s World’ on Tuesday 2 March 2010, at Hilton Hotel, Glasgow.
The aim of the conference is to share our learning, experience and intelligence in order to build for the future.
The plenary sessions at the conference are going to focus on the ‘bigger picture’ around quality improvement and why sharing and learning can be so difficult to spread and implement. The afternoon sessions will then focus this thinking around particular topic areas and breakout sessions are being held specifically around:
- Patient safety
- HAI
- Learning from reviews of suicides
Registration for this event opens in January 2010.
Below you can find a link to ‘Announcement of conference and call for abstracts’ flier.
