This Westminster Health Forum policy conference will explore the future direction of clinical negligence policy in the NHS, focusing on cost management, legal reform and improving patient safety. It brings together key voices from law, healthcare, government and patient advocacy.
We are pleased to share that The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust will be participating as part of the expert panel, advocating on behalf of aortic dissection patients and their families.
