  • We are doing it again in November! Share your innovative practices with your colleagues across Australia and New Zealand!  

 

In October last year over 200 delegates from Health Roundtable Members across Australia and New Zealand were challenged and motivated by over eighty rapid fire presentations covering an extensive range of innovations on topical health and hospital related themes.
 
The Health Roundtable has been working with its member organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand since 1995 to identify practical innovations that can be implemented to reduce the pressures you are facing across all aspects of patient care. By sharing issues and innovations with over 75 health services, you will be able to reduce the pain and help your colleagues improve the care of patients everywhere. 
 
We are hosting a major two-day event to share innovative practices grouped across four topic streams for:
 
  •    Empowering Our Patients
  •    Improving Complex Patient Journeys
  •   Reducing Variation in Care
  •  Delivering Value
 
We will have four mini-workshop sessions in each of these areas to enable participants to discuss their issues and innovations in informal poster sessions. Please review the following information and pick an innovative practice from your health service to share with your colleagues. All that is required is a simple PowerPoint-style presentation outlining the issue you faced and the solution you implemented to address it. 
 
Please follow the attached guidelines and submit your poster as soon as possible to be eligible for a cash honorarium to help with your travel and accommodation costs. If you have any questions regarding this important event please contact Kate Tynan 0417 481 661 kate.tynan@healthroundtable.org
