The iSRRS hosts an annual conference. Our conferences cover a range of topics concerning rapid response systems and patient safety, delivered in a variety of ways: lectures, roundtable discussions, pro-con debates, and oral and poster research presentations. All sessions are relevant for medical, nursing, managerial and administrative staff interested in the detection and prevention of patient deterioration, and improving patient safety in our hospitals.

The leading scientific work on rapid response systems, patient deterioration, and advanced skills training had come from prior conference organizers, board members and society members.

Our goal is to bring together the best minds in the field and create the changes that will provide the best care for the acutely ill patent.
