Why speak at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare?
The International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare has a long history of connecting and informing healthcare professionals in quality improvement and patient safety.
Our Call for Speakers gives you the opportunity to be part of a movement to ignite change across healthcare networks on a global scale. Apart from being able to share your work with an audience that has the power to make a real difference, you would build or increase your profile as an expert in your field.
We are looking for dynamic speakers to discuss their quality improvement and patient safety experience and knowledge in Melbourne on 30 October – 1 November 2023. Typically, our Forums in Australasia are attended by over 1,500 attendees from 35+ countries.
What are we looking for?
The International Forum brings together the quality improvement community to improve patient care. We do this by connecting health and care leaders, practitioners, communities and patients and sharing ideas and experiences from different countries, professions and healthcare systems. We showcase and discuss what works (and what doesn’t) with the aim of creating a revolution in patient outcomes.
Speaker proposals can showcase an innovative project, run an interactive workshop or inspire a new way of thinking. See our Call for Speaker guidelines.
We welcome applications from across the healthcare sector and beyond, including non-clinicians, patients and carers, voluntary/social sector employees, students and first-time presenters.
We have a strong preference for content that:
- Is co-designed with or lead by patients or service users
- Illustrates strategies facilitating interdependent approaches for achieving improvement within and across settings and systems
- Contains new and fresh ideas that have the potential to change the status quo
- Has a robust evidence base with reliable results
