Total Quality Management for Healthcare Institutions: An Advanced Training Course (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Fixing a mistake after it reaches a patient costs far more — in money, trust and sometimes safety — than preventing it in the first place. That single idea sits at the heart of Total Quality Management (TQM), and it is the starting point of this advanced course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, built for health professionals who want to move their organisations from reactive inspection to proactive prevention.
Rather than treating quality as a final checkpoint, TQM makes it everyone's responsibility, from the person delivering a service to the manager overseeing an entire department. Participants explore how this shift changes daily practice, how it drives continuous, organisation-wide improvement rather than one-off fixes, and how the same principles that improve manufacturing lines apply just as powerfully to hospitals, clinics, and public health institutions.
2Objectives and target group
What You Will Be Able to Do by the End of This Course:
- Explain how TQM replaces after-the-fact inspection with a preventive approach that gets things right the first time, every time.
- Distinguish between the traditional management model — focused narrowly on monitoring production or service output — and the TQM model, which treats quality as a shared, organisation-wide responsibility.
- Apply TQM principles to continuously improve services and products rather than settling for one-time fixes.
- Design improvement efforts that meet specifications while remaining sustainable, long-term, and applicable across every department.
- Recognise the administrative and technical foundations of TQM, where the people closest to the product or service — the actual providers — drive performance through collective, community-wide participation.
Who Should Attend:
- Anyone connected — directly or indirectly — to public health work, including:
- Employees of public health bodies in both governmental and non-governmental organisations.
- Inspectors working within pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.
- University and health-institute students aiming to specialise in epidemiology and public health.
