About this Event
Join us for our seventh annual National Maternity Safety Conference!
This year’s event will take place at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham on Wednesday 16th September 2026.
Building on the success and popularity of our six previous events, this conference will bring together NHS professionals, families, researchers and stakeholders to discuss this year’s theme: Next Steps for Safer Care: From Insight to Implementation
Next Steps for Safer Care
Engage with expert speakers, explore the latest research, and discover actionable solutions designed to ensure every mother, birthing person and their baby receives the best possible care. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, researcher or advocate, this is the event that sets the standard for excellence in maternity care.
Themes and Speakers
Our diverse range of speakers will present updates on national improvement initiatives, share local improvement projects, and explore solutions to current challenges for maternity services.
Every year we take your ideas on board, and work with our trusted advisors, to build a conference that is useful, relevant and forward-thinking.
This year is an important one for maternity safety. Panel sessions will discuss: learning and next steps for the national taskforce; action on safety, equity and equality; listening and culture; and innovation and data.
