About the event

“We’re not afraid to take the difficult decisions head on and talk about the challenges people face in providing safe care…discussing the fundamentals like culture.”
Shaun Lintern, Health Editor, Sunday Times and Patient Safety Chair

Now moving into its 18th year, HSJ Patient Safety Congress, Awards and Safety Leaders Exchange will bring together over 1000 NHS and independent healthcare leaders, managers, clinicians, patient representatives and families alike. All with one shared intention – to improve and transform patient safety across the healthcare system. 

With the government’s focus toward the new 10-year healthcare plan arriving in 2025, we’ll be diving into what it’s going to take to continue to deliver safely amidst times of change. As always, we continue to prioritise honest conversations that centre the safe care of people: patients and their families, and the staff who look after them, at the heart of our discussions. Exploring all the fundamentals and facets required for the improvement of a system, that continues to endure and operate under long-standing systemic pressures. 

We will be showcasing effective solutions and hearing from key voices, whilst addressing the central issues is what stands this event apart as the most valuable and leading national patient safety event in the UK.

“There are clinicians, patient groups, human factors experts, risk managers, and we’re all here for one purpose, which is how do we work together to improve patient safety.”
Mark Lingood, Director of Product Operations, RLDatix
