A joint event with the Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC), this one day meeting will discuss patient safety, including the barriers to delivering safe perioperative care and strategies on how to overcome them.

Our aims are to build upon knowledge and practice to make systems, processes and organisations safer. Through an understanding of the science of patient safety, different perspectives and approaches, coupled with collaboration, education & quality improvement programmes we hope to inspire delegates to make safety the golden thread of patient care.

The lectures will be recorded and made available to delegates post-event.  This event does not require live attendance, once registered you will have access to all of the recorded material for up to six months after the live event.
