Improving Practice and Patient Safety

Follow the conference on X #IVTherapy

The National IV Therapy Summit 2026 will focus on improving practice and patient safety in vascular access and intravenous infusion therapy across hospital, community, OPAT and Hospital at Home services. There will be a focus on implementing the 2026 National Standards for Vascular Access and Intravenous Infusion Therapy. The National Infusion and Vascular Access Society (NIVAS) is introducing new UK standards in 2026, featuring over 150 evidence-based standards covering device selection, insertion, care, and complication management and expected to be published in July 2026. These standards provide an important opportunity for NHS organisations to review practice, improve consistency, strengthen governance and ensure staff are competent and confident in the safe delivery of IV therapy. The Summit will support delegates to understand the new standards, assess current practice, identify gaps, and develop practical approaches to implementation.

The event is taking place in Birmingham or you can attend online.
