Please follow the link below for more information and a booking form for this conference: http://www.pavpub.com/pavpub/conferences/showfull.asp?Conference=812
This timely conference has been designed for all those involved in safeguarding roles in both health and social care services. It is primarily for NHS staff but will enable delegates to inform their colleagues in social care and other partner agencies. It has been designed specifically to support people in safeguarding lead roles in the NHS as they begin to work on the safeguarding agenda and to assist them in developing best practice within their own services and relationships with other agencies.
The conference follows high profile inquiries such as Shipman/Ayling and Kerr/Haslam inquiries, and investigations into institutional abuse of people with learning disabilities living in NHS services in Cornwall, Sutton and Merton. The safety of vulnerable patients and those with complex chronic health care needs and/or enduring conditions also needs addressing, extending the role of clinical governance and drawing on the Dignity In Care Campaign.
