Online registration for healthcare event begins

Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has started online registration for this year’s Middle East Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare to be held at the Qatar National Convention Centre from May 29. The three-day annual forum has become a showcase for healthcare improvement where renowned experts present innovative methods to improve healthcare quality and safety that have proved to be successful in clinical environments around the world. This year’s forum focuses on enhancing patient engagement practices and establishing better patient flows across healthcare delivery systems, as well as implementing specialised intervention programmes to deliver improved patient outcomes.Held in partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), the Middle East Forum provides hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and students in health disciplines with a unique opportunity to network and collaborate on a large scale, with more than 30 workshop sessions and several keynote addresses.To register online, participants can log on to the http://ihimeforum.hamad.qa website.Dr Abdullatif al-Khal, HMC’s deputy chief, said the forum has grown significantly year on year, and that the number of available places in the different sessions is limited.“The Middle East Forum has become an important event for healthcare professionals in Qatar and the region, so it is important that those hoping to attend the Forum register early to ensure they can select the sessions that interest them most. Many of the sessions are designed to be interactive and consequently space is limited,” said Dr al-Khal.
