The Valuing Patient Time Conference took place on 8th October 2020. This is an international conference provided by NHS Elect to share the work we do across our national programmes; the Ambulatory Emergency Care, Specialised Clinical Frailty and Acute Frailty Networks.

Throughout the day, our speakers  shared their insights and learning in a variety of topics including clinical studies and quality improvement projects across a variety of services and pathways. The topics were related to same day emergency care in both medicine and surgical specialties, frailty pathways in acute care and specialised services and EBD.
