The Health Foundation at this year's Patient Safety Congress
The Health Foundation is proud to be a strategic partner of this year’s Patient Safety Congress – the largest event in the UK covering all aspects of patient safety and bringing together experts from the UK and beyond.
Between 16-18 May 2011, over 900 visitors will hear from a wide-range of experienced safety practitioners – including people from our programmes and our partners.
Two members of our executive team members will be taking part in sessions:
- Stephen Thornton, Chief Executive, will join a plenary panel debating ’Commissioning for Safety – will it work?’
- Jo Bibby, Director of Improvement Programmes, and David Dalton, Chief Executive of Salford Royal NHS Trust, will discuss how networks can be used to help bring further improvements in patient safety.
As well as plenary speakers, stream sessions will showcase innovative work from across healthcare where people are working to improve quality and safety.
‘It is a great opportunity for us to take forward our work with healthcare leaders and frontline staff to build a network of safety minded people and organisations to test and develop new approaches in patient safety and create an evidence base for safer care’, said Jo Bibby.
As a strategic partner we have worked with the organisers HSJ and Nursing Times, and the Congress’s experienced advisory board, to bring together the latest best practice in patient safety from across the UK and beyond.
The advisory board includes representatives from the Department of Health, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement and the National Patient Safety Agency and chaired by the Health Foundation’s Jo Bibby.
