Who should attend

Patient safety touches all corners of the healthcare system. This Congress is therefore designed to provide learning for all members of the multi-disciplinary team, catering to both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds – enabling a dynamic, honest and thought-provoking conversation on how to enhance patient safety across the system

The Congress is open to NHS organisations right across the care pathway, as well as independent healthcare providers, voluntary sector organisations, primary care, ICSs, patient representatives, academia and students.  

Whatever your background, the Congress provides your opportunity to input into the national programme and raise your concerns with policy makers to ensure patient safety priorities align  

Each year the event attracts a wide range of professionals from the following areas:
