The UK has a population health emergency – an ageing society, stalling life expectancy, poor population health and increasing multimorbidity should provide a burning platform for further action on prevention.
It is clear that bold action is needed to make the shift to prevention a reality. But tackling this problem is not just a job for the NHS – we cannot treat our way out of a public health crisis. Improving the nation’s health will mean using the full weight of the opportunity presented by the government’s health mission. Beyond this, businesses, local councils, charities and communities working in partnership with those in health and care all have power to improve the health of our population.
If we are to transform the health and care service, action must now be taken, including a fundamental rewiring of how money and prioritisation work in health and care, and utilising the other important shifts (moving from an analogue to a digital system, and from care in hospitals to care in the community) in aid of this overarching goal (for example, expanding preventive community services such as vaccination programmes, and developing and promoting technologies that help people manage their own health).
Join with peers across national government, health and care, business, local government, the VCSE sector, and those working at the community and neighbourhood levels as we explore how to take bold action and shift the dial on prevention. You will have the opportunity to learn and collaborate with experts and leaders from across the health and care system and more widely through interactive workshops, panel debates and keynote talks.

Join MedLed's roundtable on the NHS 10-Year Plan. Share insights, discuss challenges, and explore how to turn ambition into real-world action.
With the NHS 10-Year Plan now published, there’s a clear call for a more resilient workforce, proactive safety systems, and leadership at every level. But as many of us working in and alongside the system know - plans on paper don’t always reflect the reality on the ground.
We want to hear your voice.
Do the priorities in the plan resonate with what you're seeing day to day? What feels achievable - and what feels disconnected? What’s missing that would make a real difference to your teams or patients? How can organisations like ours best support you in turning the plan into action? Whether you're on the frontline, in a training role, or shaping strategy - we're keen to gather insights and build a more grounded picture of what implementation will really look like.
Let’s start a conversation that leads to more than just another PDF on the shelf.

Unplanned extubation is a critical yet under-recognised patient safety issue. To put it in perspective: there are more deaths yearly from unplanned extubation than from surgical site infections or medical errors. In fact, airway events, including those around extubation, accounted for 31% of all deaths in claims made against the NHS between 2008 and 2018.
Prof. Lauren Berkow, University of Florida and Past President of the Society for Airway Management, will share expert insights into why unplanned extubation deserves urgent attention in policy and practice — and how evidence-based prevention strategies can reduce harm and improve patient outcomes.

This webinar offers an opportunity to better understand a patient safety challenge that carries significant consequences for patients, families, and the NHS. By raising awareness and driving innovation, we can work together to reduce preventable harm.

World Patient Safety Day (WPSD), which takes place annually on 17 September, was launched by the WHO in 2018 to raise public awareness, foster collaboration between stakeholders and mobilise global action to improve patient safety.
This year's theme is Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child, with the slogan “Patient safety from the start!”, recognising the vulnerability of this age group to risks and harm caused by unsafe care. The WHO calls for urgent action to eliminate avoidable harm in paediatric and newborn care, driving meaningful improvements and reaffirming every child's right to safe and quality care.
To help celebrate this year’s WPSD, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) are hosting this webinar on the importance of system design in helping to ensure safety for neonates and children. This will feature a panel of paediatric surgery consultants, innovators and human factors experts discussing how we can best design systems and built environments to help ensure safety in paediatric surgical care.
The importance of creating a simulated environment to allow people to fail safely and of ensuring appropriate psychological support when they do will be discussed. How to troubleshoot a build as a clinician to identify and ameliorate potential risks will also be covered. Also how we can adopt a multi-factorial system based approach to improving paediatric surgical care will be considered.
The principles discussed will be transferable across all surgical specialties.
Aims
The aim of this webinar is to celebrate World Patient Safety Day and to help participants provide safe surgical care for every newborn and every child.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
Have a better understanding of World Patient Safety Day and the RCSEd’s commitment to patient safety. Appreciate the importance of simulation in learning and innovation, together with the value of being able to fail safely. Recognise the importance of appropriate support for staff when developing new services. Be better able to identify and ameliorate potential patient safety risks in any new infrastructure build.
