Surgical Quality & Patient Symposium

Course Overview

The Surgical Quality & Patient Safety Symposium is a 2-day hybrid training program designed to strengthen safer surgical systems by moving teams from compliance-based practice to a culture of safety. It brings together surgical, anesthesia, nursing, theatre, quality, and hospital leadership teams to learn practical approaches to improving outcomes across the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative phases.
