Congress focus

Research → safer care

Evidence, implementation and patient outcomes across the care pathway.

Structured abstracts are free

Submit research, a systematic review, clinical audit, quality-improvement project or case report. Submission does not imply acceptance.

Written scientific discussion

The congress uses recorded material and written discussion rather than live sessions.

Twelve routes from evidence to safer care

Congress topics

Each topic connects rigorous inquiry with preventable harm, implementation in real services and patient-centred outcomes.

Diagnostic uncertainty, test-result follow-up and missed diagnoses

Study how diagnostic evidence and follow-up systems can reduce preventable harm while preserving a patient’s understanding of uncertainty.

Deprescribing, polypharmacy and medication harm at discharge

Examine evidence on medication review at discharge, with attention to treatment burden, adverse effects and outcomes that matter to patients.

Clinical AI evaluation: calibration, bias and post-deployment monitoring

Evaluate clinical AI in real care settings: calibration, bias, monitoring and the safety consequences of decisions made with its support.

Sepsis pathways: time-critical decisions and treatment-related harm

Explore research on sepsis recognition and escalation that balances time-critical action with the potential for treatment-related harm.

Antimicrobial stewardship, resistance and infection prevention

Connect stewardship and infection-prevention evidence with safer prescribing, resistance reduction and person-centred care outcomes.

Surgical outcomes, shared decisions and patient-reported recovery

Consider surgical evidence, shared decisions and recovery measures that reflect both safety and patient-reported experience.

Maternal and newborn safety: escalation and continuity of care

Address escalation, communication and continuity across maternal and newborn care, focusing on preventable harm and family-centred outcomes.

Paediatric dosing, weight-based prescribing and safer handovers

Investigate dosing, prescribing and handover practices that make paediatric care safer for children and the people who care for them.

Frailty, delirium, falls and safer care for older adults

Examine evidence for safer care in frailty, delirium and falls, including outcomes valued by older adults and their supporters.

Device, infusion and transfusion safety across specialties

Study device, infusion and transfusion safety across specialties, linking systems learning with avoidable-harm reduction.

Patient partnership, health literacy and equity in safety research

Bring patient partnership, health literacy and equity into safety research so findings are meaningful across diverse communities.

Research into practice: pragmatic trials, audit and implementation science

Translate pragmatic trials, audit and implementation science into safer everyday care while testing whether improvements endure for patients.
