This is the largest international conference on Rapid Response Systems (RRS) and Medical Emergency Teams (MET) and will combine a thought-provoking and challenging Scientific Program, delivered by inspirational global and local speakers with a lively social program showcasing the best of the wonderful City of Chicago.
 
In 2017 the Conference will explore the recognition and response to clinical deterioration in a number of settings including the emergency department, obstetric medicine, pediatric patients, mental health and general ward patients. We will have three streams presenting the state of the art aspects of nursing care and team training, and strategies to improve processes of care. The program will be aimed at doctors, nurses, patients and hospital administrators working in quality improvement. We invite our partners in industry to join us for this broad-ranging discussion of how we deal with these vital issues with the wide variety of delegates that will attend the Conference.
 
We sincerely hope you can join us as partners in this exciting convention and look forward to working with you.
