Welcome
The 7th International Conference on Rapid Response Systems will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Sydney, Australia 7-9 May 2012. This is the first time the conference has been held in Australia and is an opportunity to return to the place where the MET concept started more than 20 years ago. The conference is being hosted by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
An innovative program is being planned with a mix of activities including invited papers, parallel sessions, posters, debates and roundtable discussions. Themes for the conference will cover issues associated with recognising clinical deterioration, escalating care, clinical communication, responding to clinical deterioration, organisational systems and implementation of recognition and response systems. There will also be opportunities to explore these issues in specialist areas such as paediatrics, obstetrics and mental health.
The conference will be useful for administrators, researchers and all health care team members involved with recognising and responding to clinical deterioration. This includes people working in areas such as:
- critical care, emergency and general wards
- rapid response, medical emergency, ICU liaison and critical care outreach
- risk, quality and patient safety
- hospital management
Further information about the conference including details of registration, submission of abstracts, and sponsorship and exhibition opportunities can be found in the tab menu above.

We look forward to seeing you in Sydney.
