Better Data, Better Care: Understanding & using information to support care and our everyday lives

Event Information

This year’s RCPsych conference follows the success of the General Adult Faculty Better Data, Better care conference in 2019, with the same aim of supporting front line clinicians to find, understand and analyse data about their service in order to ensure patients get the highest quality care.

In order to achieve highest quality care for patients, we need to have relevant data of high quality in order to demonstrate the value that mental health services bring to patients, families and the wider community – reflecting the excellent care we strive to deliver daily. We gather and use information on a daily basis but how we record, retrieve and show this data to clinicians and patients differs from trust to trust or via teams within the same trust. This needs to change as we adapt to an increasingly data and digital reliant world especially since the COVID pandemic. Psychiatrists are key to influencing the services that they work for in order to enhance the information that is both recorded and used to support care and research.

This year the conference will interest all RCPsych members, with specific workshops focused on children and young people, adults, older adults and people with learning disabilities.  

The aims of the conference are:
1. Ensure clinicians are aware of the importance of data to their team, service and patients 
2. How data can be used to improve patient services and patient outcomes 
3. How as clinicians we can ensure there is high quality and clinical relevant data being collected 
4. How we can use systems to reduce data and admin burden for clinicians. 

This conference has been organised by the RCPsych Faculties in collaboration with the RCPsych Informatics Committee. We have a series of expert speakers and engaging online sessions and hope you can join us in what we believe will be the most relevant conference for your daily working life you will ever attend!
