Starting the discussion
Safer care for all conference
When we published Safer care for all in autumn 2022, one of our main aims was to start a debate on the issues highlighted and the recommendations we put forward in the report. To take the next steps we organised a conference. On 9 November 2022, over 250 attendees came together (virtually) to discuss issues highlighted in the report, including:
- 'Does regulation need to change to deliver the workforce of the future?'
- 'Do health/care professionals have a duty to tackle inequalities?'
- 'Is regulation keeping patients safe?'
- 'Are learning cultures compatible with individual accountability and openness when mistakes are made?'
The conference provided an opportunity to hear experts’ views as well as consider and contest the themes raised in the report. Speakers and delegates came from both professional and system regulators as well as patient organisations, the ombudsman, the NHS, health and care sector organisations and Chairs from major healthcare inquiries. You can find a summary of the main themes that came out of the discussions here.
