Starting on 25th June 2009
Venue The Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 6BH
IHM North West is delighted to announce the details for our Annual Conference on Thursday 25 June 2009 with the theme of “Improving Quality”. As always, the conference will give delegates the opportunity to network with friends and colleagues old and new, as well as to hear from an impressive list of special guest speakers. Many organisations have used the conference as an opportunity for a team of managers to spend some quality time together as the 24-hour conference format provides for presentations from speakers on Thursday day, the social aspect at the evening dinner and disco on Thursday evening, and free time on the Friday for teams if they wish to discuss any issues at their leisure following the overnight stay.
The conference will be chaired by Aidan Kehoe, Acting Chief Executive of Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and our special guest speakers this year are:
David DaltonChief Executive, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust on making the commitment to quality
Ken JarroldHSJ Columnist and former SHA Chief Executive on a look back at the last 12 months, and a look forward to the next 12 months
Alan JeffersonRegional Director, Care Quality Commission on touching the lives of almost everyone in England
Noel PlumridgeHSJ Columnist and former NHS Finance Director on how can financial incentives guarantee quality in healthcare
Captain Hugh Sheilsa Captain with a major European airline on “Aviation Safety Culture and You” covering improved team decision making, reduction in human errors, more effective communication and feedback
