Medics.Academy – a revolutionary UK company delivering global access to world-leading medical education – and the Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation (ICHA), New Delhi India, have announced the launch of a pioneering education programme to help accelerate the training of healthcare workers across India.
At an online panel discussion held on 24th October, the two organisations – supported by a distinguished panel of industry experts – came together to shed light on the new “Improving Healthcare Practices” programme, with the aim to jointly work to impart training in India on Rebuilding Trust in Healthcare.
Together they were requested to share their experience, best practice, challenges and solutions for developing a culture of excellence and safety within healthcare organisations.
The event highlighted key learning points and traditional methodology to quality improvement, as well as exploring alternative approaches for implementation, including the pitfalls to imparting knowledge and building trust, and the path to sustaining healthcare excellence. It also unveiled the key areas of focus for the Level 1 programme, which aims to explore patient safety as a core component in the wider effort to improve quality of healthcare delivery.
The project has been mentored by Dr Rajan Madhok (UK) and Dr Akhil Sangal (Hony Director ICHA, India), who moderated the panel on the day.
