ISQua Virtual Event
Patient Safety Virtual Conference
Due to COVID-19, the ISQua 2020 Annual Conference in Florence has been rescheduled to 8th - 11th July 2021.
As we are unable to hold in-person conferences this year we have combined our expertise in running virtual events, along with our expansive network of the top minds in the field of healthcare quality and safety, to deliver a unique virtual experience.
On 1st & 2nd September 2020 we will be hosting a virtual conference on Patient Safety.
We have assembled the leading speakers in the field including Hardeep Singh, Stephen Muething, Johanna Westbrook and John Ovretveit to name but a few.
What can I expect?
The virtual conference is scheduled to last for 2 hours each day. It will consist of three different sessions: a plenary-style talk, 4 Pecha Kucha style presentations and a networking session.
