A Strategic Summit on Safety, Governance and Incident Learning - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
Across the NHS, risk management is entering a critical transformation. The Dash Review, alongside the NHS 10-Year Health Plan and Workforce Plan, is redefining safety, accountability, and governance, moving the system from reactive compliance to proactive prevention. Leadership capability is now central to ensuring safer, more reliable services while meeting statutory and regulatory expectations.
Despite national ambition, legacy infrastructure, digital vulnerabilities, and fragmented oversight continue to expose patients to avoidable harm. Each year, more than 13,500 avoidable deaths occur, with infections, maternity incidents, and diagnostic delays revealing systemic weaknesses. Hospital maintenance backlogs exceeding £13 billion and evolving cyber threats further intensify the challenge. RiskReimagined 2026 offers a practical forum for senior NHS leaders to translate policy into capability, equipping teams to embed safety leadership, strengthen governance, and turn incident learning into measurable improvement.
Summit Focus:
The RiskReimagined 2026 Conference is a premier event for sharing best practice and innovation, designed to help NHS professionals move from awareness to applied implementation. Delegates will gain hands-on frameworks, tested delivery models, and peer-derived insights on embedding safe, equitable, and sustainable transformation within their organisations.
Dedicated Skill Clinics provide practical tools, checklists, and implementation templates for enhancing governance, risk oversight, and incident response. Lessons Learned Sessions offer candid reflections from NHS leaders on real-world challenges, course corrections, and successes.
This is not a showcase of what to achieve, but a skills exchange on how to achieve it, translating national ambition into measurable improvement.
This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
- Evolving governance for safer care: clarifying responsibilities for safety oversight at system level and strengthening board leadership, accountability, and assurance around quality and risk.
- Applying AI and early warning systems: improving early identification of emerging risks and embedding proactive approaches to risk management into everyday clinical practice.
- Building a learning culture from incidents: encouraging open reporting, meaningful follow-up, and consistent learning from incidents, including effective use of PSIRF, HSSIB insights, and safer medicines management.
- Strengthening the Estate infrastructure: addressing weaknesses in estates, equipment, and organisational preparedness, while strengthening plans to maintain care during disruption.
- Improving continuity and trust in patient information: supporting joined-up care through better stewardship, sharing, and governance of patient records, enabling a single, trusted view of the patient journey.
- Building workforce risk capability: through targeted training, multidisciplinary governance structures, and safety leadership aligned with People and Quality frameworks.
