The theme for this year's conference is 'Emotion, Inspiration and Creativity: Pathways to Global Health Quality'.

The renaissance in Italy was a period of rebirth with new ideas discoveries and the flowering of wonderful art. As we move from Cape Town to Florence, so we are taking the quality and safety movement to a new level. We hope that there will be the rebirth of our belief systems in the goodness of health and the ability to deliver safe and effective people-centred care.

For the conference, we chose three key essential components of the Renaissance - Emotion, Inspiration and Creativity as we believe these will the pathway to Global Health Quality.
