AGPAL & QIP Excellence Awards 2018 – winners announced

QIP is excited to announce the winners for the AGPAL & QIP Excellence Awards.

With six award categories open for nominations, our judging panel was wowed by the numerous stories of teamwork, innovation, safety and quality, and quality improvement initiatives. We thank everyone who took the time to submit a nomination.

The Excellence Winner and Highly Commended Recipient for each category were announced at the AGPAL and QIP 2018 Conference Gala Dinner, held on Friday 18 May 2018 at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne. These achievements were recognised over the period 30 June 2015 to 30 December 2017.
