A Strategic Summit on Safety, Governance and Incident Learning
All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
RiskReimagined 2026 is a practical NHS summit focused on how organisations are delivering safer care through stronger governance, improved incident learning, and better risk oversight. With national expectations now clear, the focus is on implementation, how systems are building capability and embedding safety in day-to-day operations.
Chaired by Helen Hughes (Patient Safety Learning), the day brings together NHS leaders and frontline teams to share what is working in practice.
Across the NHS, risk management is entering a critical transformation.
The Dash Review and wider reforms have shifted the focus from reactive compliance to proactive, system-wide risk management. The challenge now is consistency, embedding governance, learning, and accountability across organisations.
Annette Fogarty (South East London ICB) explores how board-level assurance is evolving, while Genevieve Hirst and Valerie Milton (North Middlesex University Hospital) demonstrate how clinicians are being engaged in governance at a frontline level.
Summit Focus:
This delivery-focused programme centres on real-world NHS implementation. Sessions include a PSIRF-led incident learning clinic featuring Dr Rosie Benneyworth (HSSIB), Megan Bidder (NHS Resolution), and Chris Elston (UHS). The agenda also covers Enterprise Risk Management with Sam McCartney (NHS Forth Valley), workforce capability insights from Ehsan Haqqani, and a session on Strengthening Estate Resilience featuring David Jones (University Hospital of Southampton NHS Foundation Trust), Aung Tun (St George’s University Hospitals NHS FT), and Nathan Charlish (Chesterfield Royal Hospital).
