Health Talks
Health Talks is our annual evening event that takes place on the first day of the Quality Forum. It’s a perfect activity for anyone seeking an inspirational end to their day – you don’t have to be a Quality Forum participant to attend!
The event starts with a ceremony to recognize the winners of our BC Quality Awards, which celebrate improvements in quality of care.
Next, you’ll hear from a diverse group of awesome speakers who will all answer the question: What are your hopes for health care?
As a Powered by PechaKucha event, Health Talks’ speakers don’t use presentations full of bullet points. Instead, they use the PechaKucha presentation style, which is a visual storytelling platform that simplifies the artful process of inspiring others. The 20×20 format is short and simple: each presentation contains 20 photos and each photo is displayed for exactly 20 seconds before automatically advancing to the next one.
