Theatres & Decontamination Conference 2019
Date and Time
Wednesday 6th March 2019, Ricoh Arena, Coventry
08:30 – 16:40

Why Attend
This year the conference is focused on collaboration; bringing together Theatre and Decontamination services in hospitals. By focusing on how we can achieve this, healthcare professionals can work towards a better patient experience and improved quality of care.
The conference agenda has been created by Theatre Managers and Decontamination Leads and provides exciting opportunities to learn and develop. Items will include:
- The challenges surrounding staffing in operating rooms to reduce high-cost agency spend
- New concepts in disposables
- Innovations to support decontamination productivity in theatres
- CJD updates.
There will be plenty of networking opportunity throughout the day with the chance to meet with NPAG Theatres and Decontamination members who have achieved success and savings through productive benchmarking.
This conference is open to all NHS and non NHS Theatres, Surgical and Decontamination Managers and Leads.
