Healthcare Improvement Scotland: QI Connect Webinar Series

QI Connect webinars

The QI Connect webinar series was established by Healthcare Improvement Scotland in 2014 at the request of clinicians who asked for an opportunity to learn from international leaders in the field of improvement and innovation. The series regularly teams up with thought leaders in the fields of innovation, improvement and integration to share new ideas and presentations.

Its reach is now global, with healthcare professionals from more than 60 countries and over 1,000 organisations linking in to the regular QI Connect sessions. Eminent speakers to date include Professor Don Berwick, Professor Marshall Ganz, Professor Mary Dixon-Woods, Professor Bob Wachter, Professor Atul Gawande and Professor Trisha Greenhalgh.

From a small test of change at one university in Glasgow, QI Connect now has 88 universities linking in from across the world, bringing clinicians together in virtual classrooms to listen, learn and share. Healthcare professionals can sign-up to join the virtual sessions live, or catch up on-demand with recordings of all webinars available to stream afterwards.

Watch a recording of a webinar led by Professor Mary Dixon-Woods in November 2018, presenting ‘what’s so tough about patient safety?’ below:
