Celebrating 60 Years of Safer Surgery
The AfPP has been at the forefront of patient safety for 60 years and they have big plans for a year-long celebration. Firstly, and new for 2024, they’re hosting The AfPP Roadshow consisting of seven one-day events across the UK, visiting Birmingham, Exeter, Cardiff, London, Glasgow, Belfast and Leeds. The 60th Anniversary events are focusing on the ‘Fundamentals of Practice’ with each event concentrating on five key areas of practice: Risk Management, Infection Control, Clinical Effectiveness, Patient Dignity and Care, and Mental Health and Wellbeing. You will find a different agenda and speakers in each city, and the events are suitable for practitioners at all stages of their career. Each one will equip delegates with ‘actionable change’ that can be put into practice immediately or included in longer term plans for improvement. The events are designed to make
perioperative education accessible (wherever you are in the country) and to encourage more people to give the AfPP events a try. With the special 60th Anniversary low ticket price, these events are offering superb education at great value for money (delegates gain 5 CPD hours) and are not to be missed. They are about welcoming members and importantly non- members, to give them a taste of what AfPP has to offer. Sitting right at the heart of the Anniversary
celebrations is the Annual Conference, supported by headline sponsor Mölnlycke. The Anniversary year sees the Annual Conference hosted at a brand-new venue, the fantastic University of Warwick site and, with the new venue, comes a new look conference for the delegates. Revealed will be over 30 educational sessions, three separate learning streams, plus hands-on practical workshops. Running alongside the busy educational agenda, you will find the industry exhibition and networking hub - the bustling exhibition hall features 30+ industry exhibitors, showcasing cutting-edge products and services giving delegates the chance to speak to industry professionals face-to-face.

Topping off the event is the 60th Anniversary Gala dinner – a celebration of the Association and those who sit at its heart: the members.
A gathering of experts AfPP’s mission is to improve patient care through constantly developing and promoting the leading standards for perioperative practice and practitioners, and it has been at the forefront of patient safety since 1964. The inaugural meeting of the then NATN took place in 1964 with just 23 delegates, the event has grown from a small gathering at the St James’ University Hospital to a full-scale professional medical association. The AfPP Annual Conference is more than just a meeting; it’s a hardworking and dedicated community coming together to learn, share ideas, and inspire one another. With over 500 attendees, this event is one of the largest gatherings of perioperative professionals in the UK. For 2024, the conference programme features over 30 expert speakers covering a wide range of current and important topics such as NATSSPS2, Surgical Site Infections, Infection Control, Sustainability, Human Factors and Health and Wellbeing. AfPP is delighted to welcome some incredible
keynote speakers to this year’s conference, including Dr. David Hamilton, who originally worked in R&D in the pharmaceutical industry developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. He went on to leave the industry to author books and educate people in how they can harness their mind and emotions to improve their mental and physical health – a talk not to be missed. Equally compelling will be Melissa Mead, UK
Sepsis Trust Ambassador and Spokesperson, who is speaking to delegates about her campaign to raise awareness of sepsis. Following the death of her son William, who lost his life to sepsis just after his first birthday in December 2014, Melissa has worked tirelessly, giving talks, attending conferences, appearing on national TV and even creating an awareness- raising video seen by millions of people. Closing day one of the conference will be Dr. Chris Turner representing the organisation Civility Saves Lives - a collective of healthcare professionals aiming to raise awareness of the power of civility in medicine. Dr. Chris Turner is a consultant in emergency medicine, working in a tertiary trauma centre in the West Midlands. He has spoken at numerous events about the power of civility and his TEDx talk ‘When
