This is a practical, interactive workshop for healthcare staff with existing AAR knowledge, who want to build confidence and consistency in involving patients and families. Across two half-day online workshops, and a structured audit to be undertaken between the two, participants will learn how to set AARs up for success, create psychologically safe conditions, manage challenges in real time, and support patients and staff after the review. The programme focuses on embedding meaningful patient involvement as part of everyday PSIRF learning. Suitable for: People who lead AARs in healthcare settings, and those who help guide and advise their organisation in implementing Patient Safety Incident Response Framework and the required patient engagement About the organisers: Advancing Quality Alliance and Judy Walker Associates have joined forces to create and deliver this unique workshop because both organisations are committed to enabling healthcare providers to make progress in fully embedding the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework and its principles of compassionate and proportionate learning responses. Outcomes: To know the key components for setting up the AARs for success for the individual patients, and staff as well as the organisation. To know what your individual organisations’ strengths and weaknesses are in creating the conditions for successfully using AAR with patients. To know how to create psychologically safe conditions for learning in an AAR. To know how to respond when challenges arise during an AAR. To know when best to use AAR (including Duty of Candour) and when not. To know what to do after the AAR is completed – navigating challenges and supporting patients and staff. To know how other health providers are working to involve patients and their families in AAR. Register AAR with Patients October 2026 Flyer A4.pdf

When teams are facing pressure and uncertainty, finding time for open conversations can be difficult. This session explores how listening to staff, understanding their experiences and acting on their feedback can support learning and everyday improvement. Attendees will hear reflections from Lara Mott at ImproveWell, followed by a focused exploration of maternity data, emerging patterns and what these mean for teams on the ground. The session will offer practical ways to encourage staff voice and use insights to inform improvement. What you will learn: Why communication becomes even more critical during periods of pressure and uncertainty How to support staff voice and encourage open, honest conversations What maternity data is revealing about current challenges and trends How to use data insights to inform learning, improvement, and decision making It is particularly relevant to Directors and Heads of Midwifery, Neonatal Leads, Maternity Governance Leads and senior clinical leaders. Attendees will also receive our Creating the Conditions for Safer Maternity and Neonatal Care guide and a Maternity Data Snapshot summarising the session’s key insights.

This virtual conference focuses on the role of the Coroner, the coronial investigation and inquest process, and preparing effectively for a Coroner’s Inquest. The conference will provide an important update on current developments in the coroner system, including the impact of the statutory Medical Examiner system and Death Certification Reforms on referrals, investigations and learning from deaths. The conference will explore the Coroner’s investigation from notification and referral through to the inquest, preparing witness statements and giving evidence, supporting staff involved in proceedings, and understanding what families want and need from the process. Practical sessions will provide an opportunity to understand how an inquest works in practice and develop confidence in preparing for and attending Coroner’s Court. Following the introduction of statutory Medical Examiner scrutiny, all deaths in England and Wales now undergo independent review either by a Medical Examiner or through investigation by a Coroner. Emerging national evidence suggests that the reforms are leading to fewer unnecessary referrals to coroners and more appropriate use of the coronial process. The conference will examine how Medical Examiners, Coroners, patient safety teams and clinical governance functions can work effectively together to identify concerns and ensure learning leads to improvement. The conference will also consider how organisations manage PSIRF learning responses, complaints, claims and coronial investigations in parallel. HSSIB has highlighted that coroners’ expectations can influence organisations’ choice of learning response under PSIRF, demonstrating the importance of clarity around the different purposes and requirements of patient safety learning and the coronial process. There will be a strong focus on learning from deaths and Prevention of Future Deaths reports, including identifying themes, responding effectively within the required 56-day timeframe and ensuring recommendations and concerns result in demonstrable and sustained improvement. Delegates will also be updated on the developing Public Office (Accountability) Bill, widely known as the Hillsborough Law. The Bill proposes a statutory duty of candour and assistance for public authorities and public officials engaging with inquests, inquiries and investigations, alongside provisions designed to improve the participation and representation of bereaved families. This conference will enable you to: Understand the role of the Coroner and current developments in the coroner system Understand notification and referral of deaths and when a Coroner has a duty to investigate Examine the impact of the Death Certification Reforms and statutory Medical Examiner system Understand the relationship between Medical Examiners, Coroners and organisational learning from deaths Reflect on a family’s experience and understand what bereaved families want from a Coroner’s investigation and inquest Understand the Coroner’s investigation, the scope of an inquest and the role of Interested Persons Develop your skills in preparing for an inquest, including writing witness statements and giving evidence effectively Learn from the experience of Coroners and healthcare professionals who have attended Coroner’s Court Improve support for staff before, during and following an inquest Understand how PSIRF learning responses, complaints, claims and coronial investigations can be managed effectively in parallel Explore openness, candour, disclosure and the implications of the developing Public Office (Accountability) Bill/Hillsborough Law Understand Prevention of Future Deaths reports, the 56-day response requirement and current Chief Coroner arrangements Identify key strategies for learning from deaths and ensuring findings lead to sustained improvement Understand how learning from mortality reviews, Medical Examiner scrutiny, patient safety responses and bereaved-family concerns can be brought together Reflect on your own practice and identify areas for improvement Support CPD professional development and provide evidence for revalidation. This conference provides 5 hours’ training for CPD, subject to peer group approval for revalidation purposes. Register
