We are delighted to announce the programme for the Patient Safety Learning Conference 2019: A Blueprint for Action, to be held in London on Wednesday 2 October 2019 at The King’s Fund, 11 Cavendish Place, London, W1G 0AN.
The Conference will be of value to anyone who wants to make a difference for patient safety. Clinicians and clinical managers, health leaders and policy makers, patient safety managers and specialists, researchers, patients and patient advocates – our goal is that each will leave with specific ideas, insights and practical actions that they can use to help make patients safer.
As you will see from the programme outline below, we have assembled an outstanding roster of speakers and panellists, each of whom offers a combination of real-world experience, genuine expertise, and practical understanding of how to make patient safety better.
Our recent report, A Blueprint for Action, identifies six foundations for a patient-safe future. Our report makes the case for action for each foundation:
- Shared learning for patient safety
- Leadership for patient safety
- Professionalising patient safety
- Patient engagement for patient safety
- Data and insight for patient safety
- Patient safety culture
We have used these foundations to structure the conference.
