ISQua's Virtual Conference - 2021

ISQua's first, fully virtual, International Conference took place from 8th to 11th July 2021 with four days of non-stop learning and networking. Each day ran from 7am - 7pm IST (Ireland), so that attendees could join at the time that most suited them.

We would like to thank all of our speakers who have given their time to present - especially those from our Institutional Member organisations, including IECS (Argentina), AGPAL, Clinical Excellence Queensland, and Macquarie University (Australia), PAQS (Belgium), ONA (Brazil), Accreditation Canada, BC Patient Safety and Quality Council, and CPSI (Canada), QAI (India), HSE (Ireland), Italian Network for Safety in Healthcare (Italy), HCAC (Jordan), COHSASA (South Africa), Jonkoping Academy (Sweden), JCT (Taiwan), QUALICOR Europe (The Netherlands), INEAS (Tunisia), IHI, JCI, and Planetree (USA). 

While COVID stopped us from meeting in person, the ISQua Virtual Conference offered the opportunity to meet and learn from each other virtually. 

Session Recordings

ISQua's 37th International Conference session recordings are available for conference delegates to view online through the conference platform until the 31st of August 2021. 

ISQua Members who didn't get a chance to attend the conference can still catch up with the recordings when they become available on the ISQua website in September.

Learning Journeys

The Learning Journey sessions were interview and discussion style sessions that ran daily through the conference programme.

The sessions gained expert perspectives on elements of their quality interest and experience relating to the main theme of the conference - Emotion, Inspiration, and Creativity.

Abstract Books

ISQua has published two abstract books on the short oral presentations and e-Posters from the conference.
