The AMaT Conference
2027 Conference Announcement Coming Soon!
What is The AMaT Conference?
Since the AMaT system was created in 2016, we have worked with our users to build a community that meets not just to talk about system requirements, but also to share its experiences and learning. As this community grew, we wanted to provide an opportunity for everyone to get together, whilst also including Trusts who might not yet use AMaT.
The first conference took place in 2022 and we are really pleased that we can continue to hold this free, in-person event for the benefit of the clinical audit and quality improvement community working in NHS and private healthcare settings.
Some FAQs
- Do I receive a certificate of attendance?
Yes. The conference is CPD accredited, and you will receive a certificate if your attendance is confirmed on the day. - What time does the conference start and finish?
The conference starts at 9:30am with refreshments from 8:30am. It concludes at 4:15pm, and there are networking drinks until 5pm. - Is lunch provided?
Yes, there will be complementary refreshments throughout the day, along with lunch and networking drinks. - Can I cancel my booking closer to the date?
This is a popular conference that often has a large waiting list for places. You may cancel your booking at any time although we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to another delegate.
