'The Value of European Collaboration' The European Society for Quality in Healthcare exists because the National Societies as participants and co-owners share a vision and values which bond them in mutual reciprocal and synergetic collaborative action. To facilitate information sharing on quality in healthcare issues, the Society holds Spring and Autumn workshops every year. The first Spring Workshop was held in Solothurn Switzerland in March 1999. This was the first in a series of Workshops designed to exchange knowledge in relation to information, training, implementation and review activities. It also facilitated joint working arrangements with Pan-European organisations which had associated interests and aims. A report of that workshop was published in the ISQua Journal in June '99 Solothurn, Switzerland, March 1999
The Autumn Workshop was held in Caltanissetta Italy in September 1999 in conjunction with CEFPAS (Centre for Training Research in Public Health). The theme was "Developing Quality Health Care organisations in Europe through Learning Education and Training". It explored and clarified the role of learning, education and training in relation to quality in effecting significant change in healthcare organisations in Europe. A report of this workshop is presently being prepared for publication.
