Share the learning by bringing your team

 

Patient care is a key focus in healthcare throughout the UK, and the breadth of content at Patient Safety Congress makes it difficult for a single individual to fully benefit from. Over the years, we have seen an increase in NHS organisations sending groups of delegates to cover the multiple content streams.

 

We've spoken to some of the past group bookers of Patient Safety Congress and they have confirmed to us that they saw synergy with various teams within their organisation attending different sessions, sometimes across multiple streams in order to build their knowledge and learning. Looking at the 2024 agenda, we have mapped out how each department may plan their time at this year's event - click the headings below to see the sessions we believe are applicable:

The above suggestions are the sessions we believe would benefit each department but your Trust's needs may be different. We strongly advise for you and your department leads to visit the latest agenda this year to fully understand what sessions would be most applicable to them so that you can understand your ticket needs.  We are happy to assist in this planning so please contact us using the form below.


A national focus with a fully regional attendance

 

Patient Safety Congress has always been an event that is curated with the national focus in mind. We know how important it is for every Trust to focus on patient care and make improvements where possible. 

Every year, the Congress attracts delegates from around the country as well as internationally; as they seek to learn from the best public healthcare service in the world. 

In 2023, 150+ NHS organisations across the UK were represented at Patient Safety Congress, highlighting the importance of patient safety - the map on the right signifies the coverage across NHS organisations per region. Whilst we note the benefit of networking and having conversations with peers nationally, this is another opportunity to strengthen in this key area on a regional basis.

Ensure that your Trust do not miss out on joining their peers at this must-attend event...
