Join us in Milan on 3rd October 2016 at 18:00-20:00 (Room Brown 3)
The GTC are hosting a FREE meeting for interested delegates attending the ESICM Congress in Milan. Internationally recognized speakers will outline the place of better tracheostomy care and the role of quality improvement collaboratives in Europe, with a chance to talk to leaders and members of the GTC over a glass of wine.
The meeting is open to anyone with an interest in improving tracheostomy care from all specialities and all professions (medical, nursing, allied health staff are very welcome). The meeting is free to attend and if you are attending the ESICM Congress, you can just turn up at 18:00*. It is possible to attend for free if you are not part of the Congress, but we need you to register via the GTC website in advance (to secure access to the Congress).
*We would ask all delegates thinking of attending to please register in advance via the GTC website so that we may cater adequately for those attending.
A meeting of patients and families, and interested parties, will also take place October 3rd in central Milan with the time and venue location to be determined. Come meet Erin Ward (GTC Patient & Family Chair), GTC leaders, and other patients and families with similar experiences to share stories, contacts, and learn how you can influence your care and care providers through collaboration with the GTC.
