Person-Centred Care Month
January: Person-Centred Care Month
For the month of January, the ISQua team is focusing on Person-Centred Care and we couldn't think of a more apt way to start not just a new year but a new decade.
Have a look at the ways that you can learn more about Person-Centred Care and get involved in the conversation:
Webinars
The recording of our latest webinar on Person-Centred Care: Blending improvement methods and business thinking into practical steps with Dr Tricia Woodhead is now available on ISQua Community.
Our next live webinar will take place on Wednesday 19th February at 12:00 (UTC+0) and details of the session will be available very soon!
Virtual Coffee Break
Please join us for our first Virtual Coffee Break of the year on 30th January at 12:00 (UTC+0) for a Person-Centred themed discussion.
In advance of the session, we ask that you please read the paper Contemporaneous patient and health professional views of patient-centred care: a systematic review, which is available through the International Journal for Quality in Health Care. The paper will form the primary discussion topic for the session. We ask that you read, reflect and contextualise the findings of the paper, and discuss your thoughts with other participants.
Please note that the Virtual Coffee Break is limited to a maximum of 100 participants, who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
