Join a discussion hosted by Dr Amar Shah, Chief Quality Officer at East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), and Pedro Delgado, Vice President at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), featuring Pierre Barker, Chief Scientific Officer at the IHI, and Peter Margolis, Co-Director of the James M. Anderson Centre for Health Systems Excellence at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

We delve in to why we describe Quality Improvement as a science, and consider how we take that science, and design Quality Improvement in a way that gives us the best possible chance of success.

Discover what we can do to strengthen the scientific rigour with which we apply Quality Improvement. We discuss how to support people who do not naturally see themselves as scientists to adopt this curiosity and method of thinking about making change.

In the spirit of improvement, our speakers share their predictions for the future of the field of improvement science. How might AI impact on the science of improvement?
