London regional network meeting: Learning to Reduce Risk in Emergency Care

Join NHS Resolution on Wednesday 9th September at 12.30pm for an insightful London networking meeting exploring lessons from real-life patient safety and clinical negligence claims. Through case stories and expert discussion, this session will examine the complex relationship between mental health provision, corridor care, patient safety, and organisational risk within Emergency Departments.

Emergency Departments continue to face significant pressures that can impact patient care, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes. This forum brings together learning from serious incidents and clinical negligence claims to help healthcare professionals better understand the risks associated with delayed care, mental health crises, and corridor care.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into how patient safety, escalation processes, and system-wide challenges intersect, and how these lessons can be applied to reduce avoidable harm and organisational risk.
