Organisers of the Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare 2016 (ME Forum) have announced that this year’s conference will feature the popular poster / storyboard exhibition and competition.
Due to popular demand, the submissions deadline has been pushed to March 31; submissions can be posted on the conference website: http://ihimeforum.hamad.qa
Due to overwhelming interest from healthcare teams wanting to submit their initiatives for the quality improvement poster displays, many of whom have asked for additional time to prepare, the organising committee has decided to grant a six-day extension to the submission deadline, according to Prof Adeel Butt, ME Forum chair, HMC chief quality officer and Hamad Healthcare Quality Institute director.
“In HMC alone, there have been many quality and safety improvement initiatives undertaken by multidisciplinary teams over the past year, and the ME Forum is an opportune time to highlight these successes and provide inspiration to others,” said Butt.
Authors of accepted posters and storyboards are eligible to receive a heavily discounted registration fee to attend the forum. All other participants can take advantage of the early bird discount fee available until April 14.
The programme for the ME Forum 2016 also focusses on improvement initiatives that have provided a transformative approach to improving healthcare delivery by inspiring innovation and will feature keynote lectures and seminars from local, regional and global health experts, as well a series of intensive pre-conference workshops.
