International Forum on Quality and Safety in Health Care
23-25 April 2008
Le Palais des Congrès de Paris
http://internationalforum.bmj.com
Deadline 08 October 2007 – midday GMT
We are inviting you to submit an abstract to be considered for
presentation at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Health
Care.
This is a particularly exciting year for potential presenters. We are able
to accept many more abstracts as we have more opportunities, and
anticipate having several more categories – ranging from oral
presentations, chaired poster sessions, poster displays and
moderated “show and tell” discussion groups. We are interested in hearing
from you if you have new work with results to present or you might want to
tell us about important cultural or leadership initiatives that have
stimulated change (and whether that change was an improvement). Perhaps
you have a new tool or method that you have employed and you want to share
experiences and results?
The Forum is open to all, and is relevant to both beginners and those
experienced in improvement work. This year we aim to be more inclusive,
and to attract previously unrepresented organisations and countries. We
particularly encourage submissions from those who may be first time
submitters, have had abstracts previously rejected, or are new to the
quality/safety field. Detailed instructions for submission are at
http://internationalforum.bmj.com, and we will soon be providing an online
educational tool on bmjlearning.com which will help you write your abstract
If you want to find out more about the Forum, or need some inspiration,
you can view the webcast from this year’s event in Barcelona online

In the meantime, here are five good reasons to submit an abstract:
• Showcase your achievements to key international opinion leaders
• Communicate your organisation's work
• Enhance your organisation's profile
• Network with others in your area/field
• Share your success, learn from your failures
Best wishes
International Forum Team
The Forum is presented by the BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and the Institute
for Healthcare Improvement. With the kind support of Haute Autorité de
Sante
