Thank you to all the delegates, poster presenters, exhibitors and speakers from across the province who joined us on October 14, for Health Quality Transformation 2015.
As Canada’s largest annual conference on health care quality, the day was our biggest yet featuring over 25 unique breakout sessions, six Lunch and Learn workshops as well as partner exhibitors, and posters from research happening across the province. Once again, the Minister’s Medal Award for Quality and Safety was awarded at HQT2015. The medal honours health system champions that put patients at the centre of the circle of care. Find out more about the 2015 award winners here.
