The 1st International Incident Disclosure Conference was hosted by the UTS Centre for Health Communication at UTS on October 4 and 5 2012.

Incident disclosure is of critical significance to contemporary health care communication. Research has shown that disclosure may re-establish patients’ and relatives’ trust in the system, support clinical processes being made safer, and prevent organisations and individuals from entering into time-consuming complaints resolution and expensive legal processes.
