Thank you to Tracy, Stephen, and Suzanne for a very comprehensive session! Now it's time for Tracy and Stephen to round up our day with a brief talk around clinical audit accreditation. #AMaT25

Embedding good practice through SOPs, training, spot checks and escalating potential risks should also be supported by rewarding good practice. #AMaT25

How are we ensuring that this activity, including the Forward Plan activity is undergoing a robust process to ensure projects are effective, meaningful and in line with organisational needs to improve the outcomes and care we provide to our patients? #AMaT25

We're back! Welcome to the last hour or so of The AMaT Conference. There's so much to share and learn here. #AMaT25

The delegates at The AMaT Conference have earned a short break but we'll be back with more training! #AMaT25

Jack talks about how and why we learn, the role of PSIRF in this, what the danger areas are, and MUCH more. Another brilliant talk in a day packed with excellence. Thanks Jack! #AMaT25

Jack Hiscock is next. Jack is from Sheffield Children's NHS and his presentation is called 'Let's give them something to talk about'. It's all about the effective sharing of learning - sharing is DEFINITELY the theme for this year! #AMaT25

Now it's time for something different! Suzanne Henderson is leading a session where delegates are being asked to create posters introducing their teams. Coloured paper, glue, scissors - the room is like Take Hart or Art Attack! #AMaT25
