The first international Safewards conference, session by session.
Lisa Spong, our Safewards lead, is in Prague for both days. For every talk she attends we'll publish detailed notes — what was presented, the evidence behind it, and what it could mean on your ward.
Pioneering work from Australia and New Zealand.
Safewards Acute, Safewards Secure, and cultural adaptations in Broome and New Zealand — teams from our part of the world are taking the model into new places, and presenting it in Prague. Lisa's covering all of these.
