The event featured four presentations covering:

• Structured Perinatal Analysis Report Coding (SPARC) explored how we use coded, thematic data from MNSI investigations to identify patterns and support learning at both local and national level.
• Culture of Organisations and its iMpact on PatientS' Safety (COMPASS) focused on how we measure and support improvement in safety culture across maternity and neonatal services.
• Health Equity Warning Score and Health Equity Assessment and Resource Toolkit (HEART) looked at how we identify and address health inequalities through our investigations, ensuring that the findings we generate reflect the experiences of all families.
• Our investigations and the wider stakeholder environment set our work in context, exploring how MNSI investigations connect with the broader landscape of maternity and neonatal safety improvement.
