EDUCATION UPDATE

 

External workshops and seminars

Following the successful Executive Masterclass workshop held in March 2009  Telarc Quality Health offered a series of three day EQuIP related workshops through August – September 2009.

 

The workshops were comprised of three separate topics each conducted on one of three days of the programme:

• Basic EQuIP for Beginners
• Beyond Evaluation (MA) Toward Excellence (EA)
• Clinical Audits

84 people attended the Basic EQuIP for Beginners workshops

90 people attended the Beyond Evaluation (MA) Toward Excellence (EA) workshops

72 people attended the Clinical Audits workshops.  Places were restricted in this workshop due to the concentration on activity and group work.

 

Topics were selected to represent various levels of engagement with the EQuIP4 programme for our members – those beginning the journey, those with established involvement in the programme and those wishing to expand the effectiveness of their clinical audit activity.  All workshops were well subscribed with ‘waiting lists’ for a number of the workshops and all evaluations were positive. Attendance was representative of a wide range of provider organisations.

 

Four national workshops were held.  Locations were selected in accordance with the geographic spread and density of member organisations.  One workshop was held in Christchurch, one in Wellington and two in Auckland.  QHNZ was pleased to have the cooperation and input of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) for these workshops.
