West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Quality Governance team is hosting a series of Patient Safety Learning Summits. Throughout the year they will be holding four events, focusing on patient safety, with a range of speakers (national and international).
WHO are the summits aimed for? All healthcare professionals and students who want to learn more about patient safety, participate in the construction of our new patient safety strategy and gain valuable CPD points (30!).
WHAT are the summits? They will be international interactive learning conferences where we delve into the transition into Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF), in conjunction with discussing the wider patient safety landscape. These summits will include national and international keynote speakers:
Prof Matt Inada-Kim- National Clinical Director – infection, antimicrobial resistance & deterioration / CL Covid oximetry @Home / virtual wards Ron Daniels- Founder and Chief Executive, UK Sepsis Trust Helen Hughes- Chief Executive, Patient Safety Learning Paula Reges – infections disease researcher Fiocruz Brazil / advisor to Health Minister Ass Prof Caline Mattar- Global Health and Infectious Diseases at University of Washington, USA Other speakers to include: Médecins Sans Frontières, Red Cross and NHS England WHEN are the summits? There will be four summits throughout the year with overarching themes:
Wednesday 26 April- Corporate and Clinical Governance Tuesday 6 June- IPC/AMR/Stewardship Tuesday 5 September – Deteriorating Patients- event aligned to the WHO theme of Engaging Patients Wednesday 10 January 2024- Enhanced Care Needs WHERE are the summits? The events will be held at Watford Football Club and streamed online. British Sign Language interpreters, inductions loops and captions will be present at all events.
WHY The trust fully supports the national agenda change to PSIRF and wants to embed the ethos of this framework into everything we do. Patient safety is everybody's business, and everyone has a vital role to play. PSIRF is replacing the Serious Incident Framework and will lead to a culture shift of continuous learning, patient engagement, and a systems-based approach to learning from incidents. The NHS patient safety landscape is evolving, and these summits will give you the understanding, oversight, and passion to be a driver for improvements within your area.

This conference is for staff involved in managing concerns in NHS Scotland, including the promotion, delivery, and use of the Whistleblowing Standards. The Independent National Whistleblowing Office are supporting the event. It will explore the legislative requirements around whistleblowing and the benefits of effective management of concerns. The programme concludes with a focus on
what a healthy speak up culture looks like and how that can be delivered.
The day will be chaired by John Sturrock, KC, and include a keynote presentation from Rosemary Agnew, the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer. It also brings together expert speakers from NHS Scotland, Scottish Government, trade union and academia with expertise in speaking up, culture change, quality, safety and candour.
The programme will consider the Whistleblowing Standards since their launch in April 2021, as they approach their anticipated 3-year review. It offers an opportunity to share good practice, support ongoing improvements and promote an effective Speak Up culture that works from the bedside to the boardroom.

The NHS long term plan (LTP) builds on the commitments for mental health services set out in the five-year forward view for mental health (FYFVMH), emphasising collaboration and the use of digital innovations to deliver more personalised and streamlined care. The mental health implementation plan 2019/20-2023/24 provides a framework to support the delivery of these commitments locally, and sets out a combination of fixed, flexible and targeted approaches, with core national targets supported by flexibility for local systems to agree how best to deliver services.
To support the ambitions within the Plan, the NHS has made a renewed commitment that funding for mental health services will grow faster than the overall NHS budget, creating a new ringfenced local investment fund worth at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24.
In 2022 the Government issued a call for evidence to inform a new, 10-year cross-government Mental health and wellbeing plan. In January 2023 the Government announced it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy that will include mental health. The Government has said a joined up strategy will ensure that mental health conditions are considered alongside physical health conditions.
The GovConnect Mental Health annual conference is committed to providing learning and solutions which improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes, particularly for people who experience worse outcomes than the general population. This is a key part of our Governments commitment to ‘level up’, and address unequal outcomes and life chances across the country. The government has committed to develop a new cross-government, 10-year plan for mental health and wellbeing for England to support this objective.
Mental Health 2023 – Delivering Collaborative Whole Pathways of Care. Will give attendees the opportunity to engage with key personnel from delivery partners and national stakeholder organisations, providing an assessment of FYFVMH transition to LTP planning and delivery progress, addressing the 13 core areas of mental health services provision set out in the implementation plan, including child and adolescent mental health, maternal mental health services, the mental health of older people, and care for people with serious mental illness.
Along with learning and interactive debate on:
How can we improve the quality and effectiveness of treatment for mental health conditions? How can we all support people living with mental health conditions to live well? How can we improve the quality and effectiveness of treatment for mental health conditions? How can we all improve support for people in crisis? How can we all intervene earlier when people need support with their mental health? We invite all organisations and individuals from all NHS settings, Local authorities, independent and VCSE sectors and private providers to join us at the Royal Society of Medicine, London.
