Multiyear Partnerships
IHI understands that it can take time to develop the relationships and understanding necessary to make large-scale and sustainable improvement. A multiyear partnership with IHI allows us to earn the trust and confidence needed to develop organisation-wide improvement capacity and capability, provide leadership support, and co-design the quality infrastructure to meet an organisation’s unique needs. Regular contact allows for regular assessment of needs, progress, and opportunities for learning.

Programmes and Conferences
IHI is pleased to host, alongside regional partners, educational trainings in Europe. We offer a range of educational opportunities, taught by regional and international subject matter experts, to provide an exceptional training experience.
There are opportunities for Europe partners to innovate and convene at IHI’s conferences and Forums. For more than 20 years the annual International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, co-sponsored by IHI and BMJ Publishing Group, has contributed to capacity building for Europe and beyond with around 3,000 participants each year.
