International Forum in Sydney 2021

In view of the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world, including in Sydney, we have made the very difficult decision to reschedule the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare.

The conference will now be taking place on Monday 7 – Wednesday 9 June 2021. We hope that you will be able to join us then.

The International Forum is one of the leading events of its kind in the world, and the rescheduling of this important conference has been taken in the best interests of all delegates, participants and the wider public.

Both the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and BMJ strive to improve healthcare and outcomes for patients and communities. The decision to reschedule this much anticipated International Forum supports the global efforts to contain the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The International Forum family consists of healthcare professionals, students, patients, carers and service users from around the world and we know that many lives have been and continue to be impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

We are mindful of our duty of care to all the healthcare workers expected to attend the International Forum and those they will be in contact with including their patients. Our primary concern is for the health and welfare of all our participants and staff, as well as the wider community.

We are also aware that many of you will be on the frontline of facing this outbreak, and our thoughts are with you in these challenging times.
