Healthcare Quality & Safety Forum: Lisbon 2027

Formerly the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare. At Europe's largest gathering of health and care improvers, you will find practical tools, fresh ideas, and powerful connections to accelerate improvement.

Using our combined expertise and passion, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and BMJ Group bring you the largest international conference in Europe focused on improving outcomes for patients and communities through quality improvement.

From 300 people meeting in London in 1996 to thousands of improvers attending the International Forum events every year, the conference is the place to hear and meet some of the world’s brightest minds and forge relationships that drive improvement and innovation in health and care across the world.

The Healthcare Improvement Forum in Lisbon will focus on the key themes in health and care in Europe, while bringing in perspectives and knowledge from around the world.

Under the theme “Heart of the system: People and communities driving learning and change,” our Lisbon programme brings together global leaders, innovators, and practitioners to share learning and drive real-world improvement.

Across three days, explore practical approaches to improving quality and safety, share learning across borders and connect with a global community committed to making a difference for patients and communities.
