Safety is currently an important issue in Healthcare, and is high on the policy agenda. Working with world renowned experts in Safety Management systems at the University of York this conference brings together the latest thinking and research in safety management systems with a practical focus.

The conference will be a combination of short think sessions (from leading researchers) combined with practical workshops. Our intention is to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
