This national Summit will focus on the question of mortality monitoring: where are we now? Through national updates and practical case studies the conference will look at how we can reduce and monitor avoidable deaths in hospitals through a range of measures which will replace the single hospital wide HSMR approach. The various approaches will aim to answer the question of whether a problem in care contributed to death, and how to identify which deaths attributable to problems in care are unavoidable. Areas covered will include mortality audits, internal inspection, mortality reviews, case note reviews, early identification of care problems, the patient voice as an early warning system and the role of mortality monitoring for individual consultants.  A 20% discount is available by quoting ref:HCUK20EX when booking.  Follow the conference on #NHSMortality
