Overview
The establishment of the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) in April 2017 and the draft Health Service Safety Investigations Bill, places a renewed emphasis on investigating breaches of patient safety. By fully understanding the responsibilities and actions necessary for dealing with Serious Incidents and the tools available, healthcare professionals will be able to enhance patient safety.
By attending this Improving Patient Safety Investigations course, delegates will learn how to utilise human factors analysis to investigate patient safety; gain an insight into the structure of an investigation and learn how to communicate the results of the investigation to the patient and their families.
Delegates on this interactive course will improve how they conduct and communicate patient safety investigations with Dr Suzanne Shale, HSIB Advisory Panel Member and Chair of the Action against Medical Accidents.
