Call for clinical cases

We invite healthcare professionals to submit a real-life clinical case for discussion during a conference session with a multidisciplinary expert panel.

We invite healthcare professionals to submit a real-life clinical case for discussion during a conference session with a multidisciplinary expert panel.  

The questions below focus on completed cases that go beyond everyday clinical practice and offer learning of national relevance. We are seeking complex, unusual, thought-provoking or challenging cases that can stimulate discussion about broader system implications and improve the delivery of services and care.  

This is a supportive, learning-focused process and the purpose is to understand the circumstances, share learning and identify opportunities to strengthen future care.

(Please note that submission does not guarantee selection) 

Deadline for submission: 27 September 2026

About the submitter (on behalf of the team)

Would you or a colleague be willing to present the case at the conference?

Case summary

Questions to consider: What made this case unusual, thought-provoking or challenging? What was the presenting problem or primary diagnosis? Were there any complications, adverse effects or unexpected developments? What was the principal clinical, diagnostic or care challenge? Were there any complicating clinical, psychosocial, ethical, cultural, communication or service-related factors?

 

Reflection on approach and learning

Questions to consider: Which professionals and specialties were involved? How did the team assess and approach the problem? What treatment or care options were considered? What evidence, guidance or expert advice informed the discussion? Why was the chosen approach selected? Were any options ruled out because of contraindications, risks, patient preferences or practical limitations?  What worked particularly well? What proved most difficult? With hindsight, would the team approach any aspect differently? Did the case lead to a change in local practice, pathways or MDT working? What are the three most important learning points for delegates? How might these lessons be applied to other patients or services?
