The conference includes a stimulating programme of keynote presentations from leading national speakers and a wide range of delegate-led concurrent sessions. Poster presentations are also on display throughout the conference. Both concurrent sessions and poster presentations provide an opportunity for colleagues to share the richness of good practice and innovation. Workshops will provide opportunities to learn practical skills to change practice, in a sharing, non-competitive environment. Each workshop will have specific learning outcomes and a certificate of attendance will be issued to those taking part.

We are pleased to welcome Chris Beasley, Chief Nursing Officer for England, who will be giving the opening address.
