With this year’s focus on ‘facing reality – honest conversations about safety’, the 16th Patient Safety Congress and Awards uniquely brings together 1000+ NHS and independent healthcare leaders, managers, clinicians, patient representatives and the centre who share the goal of transforming patient safety across the system.
Through acknowledging the current healthcare environment in the UK, the Congress challenges the status quo on safety with dynamic and honest discussions on how to improve patient care across the system. Our focus of not shying away from controversial topics and being honest about issues being faced and how to overcome them stands the event apart.
