Session Overview: As we celebrate the 20th QPPV Forum we will look back at the history of the QPPV role, why was the role created, whether it worked as intended by those involved in creating the role and how it has evolved to the role we know today. We will also start the conversation about the future for the role and consider how it should/may develop in the future.
