ISQua & IHF Virtual Conference

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major toll on people's wellbeing worldwide, as they are having to face challenges such as social distancing, loneliness, and the threat of deadly infectious disease outbreaks. 

For hospital workers and other health service providers, these challenges and the additional stress of working in a prolonged “crisis situation” have increased documented mental health problems. 

As the pandemic progresses, the current and projected scale of distress among healthcare workers is alarming. It is widely recognized that healthcare professionals need enhanced support to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current and future wellbeing.   

IHF and ISQua are collaborating for the virtual conference “Hospital Workers’ Wellbeing Matters“ on 23 February 2021 to provide our members and the wider community insights on healthcare workers’ wellbeing and an opportunity to hear innovative interventions from industry leaders from other countries.

Why you should attend

• Get a global perspective on hospital and health system employee wellbeing;
• Discover good practices and innovations from leaders from around the globe on how they're improving their healthcare workers’ wellbeing;
• Learn from successful programmes from other industries;
• Interact meaningfully with international peers, gain new ideas, and share your organization’s initiatives.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, contact us at conference@isqua.org
