Different perspectives can help teams learn, grow and build stronger shared understanding.

ATTIC’s Debate and Dialogue activity gives teams a simple way to explore how they respond to differing opinions and practice shifting toward curiosity, listening and understanding.

In this activity, pairs first explore opposing viewpoints, then repeat the conversation using dialogue to ask questions, listen closely and learn from each other.

There is so much incredible work happening across British Columbia to improve health care and it deserves to be seen.

We had the privilege of seeing that work firsthand through the record-breaking 726 abstracts submitted for Quality Forum 2027. It's a powerful reminder of the ideas, innovations, collaborations and quality improvement efforts happening every day across the province.

But why stop there?

Nominations for the BC Quality Awards are now open.

If you've submitted an abstract, you've already captured the story of your improvement journey.

A BC Quality Award nomination is an opportunity to build on that story by recognizing the people behind the work, celebrating the impact you've made, and inspiring others by sharing what's possible.

Help us shine a spotlight on the individuals and teams who are improving health care across BC. We can't wait to celebrate your achievements.

Learning about quality improvement is serious work. It can also be a lot of fun.

The current Quality Academy cohort recently welcomed a special guest: Hank, Quality Academy faculty member Andrea’s puppy. As you can see, he took his responsibilities very seriously.

Quality Academy brings people together from across BC’s health care system to build practical skills in quality and safety improvement. Over six months, participants learn from expert instructors, work with dedicated mentors and apply what they learn to a real project in their own workplace.

Along the way, they build connections, share ideas and work alongside others who care about making care better. Hank, it turns out, is a natural at the community-building part.

That mix of practical learning, shared purpose and supportive community is a big part of what makes Quality Academy special.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Apply by August 21, 2026.
