The focus of today is Patient Safety which is a priority for the NHS and for global healthcare systems. Patient Safety is fundamental to quality systems of care delivery and we have a range of expert, excellent speakers and workshop leaders who will inspire, inform and challenge your thinking and knowledge. Our keynote speaker today is Richard Cattell, Deputy Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, NHS Improvement, who is leading on patient safety improvements including reduction of medication errors.
