The Glasgow 2019 Programme

The 2019 Programme will offer:
• The opportunity to visit outstanding organizations across Scotland and discover first hand how they deliver exceptional care during our off-site experience days
• Skills-based training workshops with internationally renowned experts in quality improvement which will expand your knowledge and application across a number of key topics and give you practical solutions to take back to your organization
• Keynotes sessions from leaders in the field as well as inspiration from other industries
• Over 50 sessions from 100+ speakers from across the world, who have come to share their successes, goals, aims, and ambitions, and demonstrate how you can make a lasting change to your own practice

New for this year:
• Around the world in Quality Improvement – These morning energizer sessions will give you a taster of exciting projects taking place across the globe, from Myanmar to Abu Dhabi, Ireland to India and many more. Also, don’t forget to check out our country hosted zones across the programme to hear new perspectives from a variety of nations
• Learning from failure – Not all quality improvement projects achieve lasting results, and sometimes learning from what hasn’t worked is as valuable as celebrating success. In this new and exciting session we’ll consider what causes projects to fail, and the important learning outcomes that can be taken away
• Reflection Zone – With over 50 sessions to choose from, 100 speakers to hear and multiple opportunities to connect with fellow delegates, our new reflection zone is a space to take a step back and consider how you are going to use the experience to create lasting change in your organization.

Programme Theme :

Our 2019 theme is People Make Change.

Inspired by the city slogan ‘People make Glasgow’, this year’s programme will show how transforming healthcare is only possible when everyone comes together to create change.

From patients, families, and communities through to frontline workers, management and executive, we’ll learn how to involve, inspire and innovate across borders and organizations.

We’ll look beyond the healthcare system to how the movement for quality and safety links in with education, environment and social care, and how through collaboration we can create meaningful and lasting improvement in patients’ lives.

Programme streams and topics :
To help you navigate the programme we’ve grouped the sessions into 5 key themes:
• Population and Public Health
• Building Capability and Leadership
• Safety
• Person and Family Centred Care
• Quality, Cost, Value

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
