The role of patients in the healthcare system is vital yet often downplayed. Hon. Yuthar Mohammed AlRawahy, Founder & Honorary Life President of the Oman Cancer Association (OCA), is a four-time cancer survivor and through her self-empowerment, she managed to mobilize the Omani community and enact a staggering evolution in the areas of cancer awareness, advocacy, screening and palliation. This success has positively impacted not only her locality but the regional and global institutions in this dynamic space: the space that bridges social activism with healthcare provision and creates endless opportunities for public-private-civil partnership.

Quality and patient safety in hospital care is an important issue in Belgium, In recent years, both the federal and the regional Flemish government developed several incentives to intensify measures to improve quality management in hospitals.

In this webinar, Dr. Marc Geboers will present these government incentives, its different levels and the integrated approach of quality improvement (accreditation, use of indicators and involvement of the government). He will also address various issues the organizations are dealing with and the formal and informal evaluation process.

Adult social care in England is inadequately funded. 1.4 million older people (14 percent of the population) had an unmet care need in 2018. The number of older people and working-age adults requiring care is increasing rapidly, and public funding is not only not keeping pace but has declined in real terms by 13 percent between 2009/10 and 2015/16.
