Embedding a quality improvement culture in hospital departments improves overall care, service delivery and organisational culture. The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service paediatric and neonatal departments have implemented and grown a culture of quality improvement (QI) through two major activities. The first of these is a dedicated Senior Medical Officer (SMO) QI lead who encourages, organises and promotes trainee doctors involvement in SMO led quality improvement projects as part of their training. The second activity has been the implementation of the annual SCHHS paediatric and neonatal quality improvement showcase day. The QI showcase day has grown since 2021 from a small departmental meeting to a health service wide showcase of quality improvement and research being done in the areas of paediatric and neonatal medicine.

Research suggests that neurodivergent populations, such as autistic people and ADHDers, are at an increased risk of developing eating disorders. "Eating Disorders and Neurodivergence: A Stepped Care Approach" is a report that was commissioned by the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC). Based on their report, presenters Laurence and Anna will provide you with a more grounded knowledge and understanding of neurodivergence in the context of eating disorders, body image, and mental health more broadly. They will also share ideas and practical strategies to allow you to adapt and accommodate the unique support needs of neurodivergent individuals.
