The Outstanding Society (OS) at Care Show London, April 2026
The Outstanding Society (OS) team are delighted to announce their final topics for the two days!
The OS team are once again excited to be hosting a series of informal panel discussions in the Learning Lounge, bringing together CQC representatives, Outstanding Society CIC directors, and other inspiring speakers (to be announced soon). Each session is built around the CQC key questions and quality statements, creating a relaxed space to explore what great practice really looks like in action. Rather than presentations, these conversations will focus on sharing learning, celebrating best practice, and hearing real examples from across health and social care. Whether you’re curious about what “good” looks like, aiming for “outstanding”, or simply keen to learn from others, the Learning Lounge is a chance to listen, reflect, ask questions and be part of a supportive community focused on quality, improvement and pride in practice.
