Our programme is a practical exploration of maternity safety, in particular sharing learning from families and trusts through the lens of our maternity work. The full programme will be released closer to the day.
Poster competition
We would like to showcase the work of trusts within the maternity safety space through contributions to our poster competition. We are inviting each trust to submit an abstract outlining any quality improvement projects at your organisation, particularly relating to antenatal or intrapartum care. We will select a number of abstracts from those submitted and will ask the successful trust teams to create and send in a poster design before the conference. Successful posters will be displayed at our conference and delegates will be able to vote throughout the day for the best poster. If you’d like to enter the competition, you can find out more on this page.
