Adding value through the fundamentals of nursing
This past year, we have witnessed the NHS community facing challenges with determination and perseverance. It is our goal to organise a conference that recognises and celebrates the invaluable contributions of our mental health and learning disability nurses who have gone above and beyond in their service to others.

Patient Safety
Join us for an exciting and informative Patient Safety event, where we will delve into the crucial aspects of ensuring the well-being of patients. This in-person event will take place on Fri Nov 10 2023 at 09:30 AM GMT.
Our event will be held at Unit A, Bar End Industrial Estate, Bar End Road, Winchester, SO23 6NR. This convenient location offers ample space for engaging discussions and networking opportunities.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about patient safety. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the utmost care for every patient.
Mark your calendar and reserve your spot today for the Patient Safety Event. We look forward to welcoming you!
Reducing Restrictive Practice: A Co-Production Event
It's nice to say there was a lot of interest in this area, so we have quickly pulled together an event on the 21st July in Oxford, as we recognise how important the issue is.
We are delighted that CQC colleagues from their policy department can join us and want to set the CQC policy position. They are keen to co-produce some solutions with providers.
At the event we will have an opportunity to work with the CQC on updating some of the brief guides which inspectors use as a reference and guidance to help them with some of the inspection activity.
We strongly encourage you to invite an expert by experience who you might have worked with in your programs to reduce restrictive interventions.
