The AMaT Conference
Thursday, May 15th, 2025, at The Treehouse Hotel in Manchester
What is The AMaT Conference?
Since the AMaT system was created in 2016, teams have been building a community that meet quarterly to not just talk about system requirements but also to share their experiences and learning unrelated to AMaT. This community grew and we wanted to provide a day of celebration, sharing and learning for teams no matter what systems they have in place to manage their clinical audit, QI and general governance activities.
The first conference took place in 2022 and we are really pleased that we can continue to facilitate this free, in-person event for the benefit of the clinical audit and quality improvement community working in NHS and private healthcare settings. Each year we continue to welcome AMaT users and non-AMaT users alike for a day of talks, training, networking, and discussions with the aim to support you in your work.
