As a Clinical Governance Officer (CGO) / Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) Supervisor, you hold residents’ safety and well-being in your hands. But the healthcare landscape changes rapidly, demanding relentless improvement and dedication.

The AIC Learning Network and our appointed learning institute, Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (KWSH) stand with you. Our training programs empower you to align your practices with HCSA and become a cornerstone of quality care.

In partnership with AIC Quality Division, the AIC Learning Network has curated 3 courses to equip the various appointment holders with the necessary knowledge to allow you to fulfil your responsibilities. The training will be offered under KWSH together with Group Quality (GQ), Institute of Healthcare Quality (IHQ), National Healthcare Group (NHG), Parkway College of Nursing and Allied Health, Ren Ci Academy and St. Luke’s Hospital.
