Course summary

This one-day masterclass will provide you with an understanding of the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours that are necessary to respond to a patient safety incident using a systems-based learning response (eg after-action reviews, debriefing). This will include discussion around improvement planning and monitoring.

The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) takes a very different approach to what has gone before in terms of how organisations approach and learn from patient safety incidents, allowing organisations to examine incidents openly without fear of inappropriate sanction, and supporting those affected alongside improving services.

What you'll study

Learning outcomes:

Knowledge:

  • The purpose and context of learning from patient safety incidents
  • Methods to maximise learning and improvement
  • Methodologies used in systems-based learning responses.

Skills:

  • Uses a systematic approach to conducting a patient safety learning response
  • Develops and monitors safety actions.

Behaviours:

  • Demonstrates a systems approach to learning from patient safety incidents
  • Works in/leads a multidisciplinary team to carry out systems-based learning responses
  • Acts to break links between error and systems-induced human error in patient safety incident response
  • Shows compassion and support to those involved in the patient safety incident response, focusing on systems learning and improvement, not blame
  • Leaders engage compassionately with those affected by patient safety incidents (including patients, families, and staff) and involve those affected in a learning response (if they would like to be) supporting them throughout the process.

How you'll learn

This one-day masterclass will take place on campus between 9am – 4pm with an hour break.
