The Excellence in Quality and Safety Forum
Friday, 21October 2005
Location
Australian Technology Park, Eveleigh, NSW
Description
The Excellence in Quality and Safety Forum was provided by the NSW Health Quality and Safety Branch as a knowledge management initiative aligned with the NSW Patient Safety and Clinical Quality Program.
The Forum showcased innovation and excellence through outstanding clinical quality and patient safety projects across the NSW health system. The increased popularity of the Forum, with 256 people registered to attend, lead to the Forum being 'sold out' by the first week of October.
The 45 projects presented showed great results across a range of service deliveries and the post-Forum feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
