To recognise and celebrate International Nurses Day, this webinar will shine a light on nurses who are working in challenging environments around the world. You will hear stories from nurses who have experienced work in communities that have become affected by conflict and natural disaster, and who have maintained healthcare delivery when routine services have been interrupted. Through this webinar the aim is to learn through the experiences of others, so we can improve our current day to day practices and learn how to provide effective support to those working in crisis situations.

Part of the ongoing series of monthly webinars on WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm.
Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of injury and avoidable harm in health care systems across the world. WHO Patient Safety Flagship has initiated a series of monthly webinars on the topic of “WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm”,. The main objective of the webinar series is support implementation of this WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm at the country level. Considering the huge burden of medication-related harm, Medication Safety has also been selected as the theme for World Patient Safety Day 2022.
In the context of medication safety, high-risk situations relate to those circumstances associated with a significant risk of medication-related harm, such as situations arising from look-alike, sound-alike (LASA) medications and high-alert medications. High-risk situations could be triggered by one or more of the following broad factors: medication, provider and patient, and systems factors (work environment).
Organisations need to prospectively design and implement strategies to identify high-risk situations related to medications and build a robust system that intercepts them before they result in patient harm.
At this webinar, WHO will present the WHO technical report on “Medication Safety in High-risk Situations” and experiences from different countries and organizations will be shared on how to address high-risk situations and reduce the risk of medication-related harm.

Gross spending on public sector procurement was £357 billion in 2020/21 across the UK a rise of 17% from 2019/20 due to the public sector response to the pandemic. This figure equates to approximately a third of all public expenditure every year and government accounts published for 2021/22 suggest that public sector procurement will remain around these higher levels.
On the eve of the UK leaving the European Union, the Cabinet Office published the green paper, entitled Transforming Public Procurement. This green paper set out a bold and ambitious reform package which aimed to speed up and simplify the procurement processes, place value for money front and centre, generate social value and increase opportunities for small businesses, charities to innovate in public service delivery which in turn would assist greatly with the Government’s Levelling Up Agenda.
After a period of consultation with over 600 stakeholders, the Cabinet Office published its response in December 2021 before embarking on formulating legislation for Parliament. Whilst there is broad support for the majority of the proposals, there has been a rethink in certain areas with the Government responding to make the obligations even clearer by splitting and refining objectives.
This timely event, though a mixture of high-level keynotes and practical case studies will address these amendments, the key challenges in public procurement, adaptations to practices and how the general principles set out in this reform process are being met at both local and national levels.

Around 1 in 5 hospital admissions in over-65s and around 6.5% of total hospital admissions are caused by the adverse effects of medicines. Prescribing people medicines that they neither need nor want can lead to serious harm, as identified in the Government’s 2021 National overprescribing review report.
This is why the PRSB has been tasked with reviewing and revising our eDischarge summary standard and supporting documentation to ensure it addresses the issue of #oveprescribing and provide useful guidance to help users address issues. To do this, we are holding an online consultation with organisations who endorsed the 2017 eDischarge standard, the individuals and representatives who participated in the standard’s development consultations, those who have since implemented the 2017 standard and frontline health and care professionals – particularly prescribers – and people.
Data standards ensure that people’s medicines information is recorded in a single, digital space that is at less risk of human error than if recorded on paper. Standards also allow for this information to be recorded in a common way that is shareable and readable across different computer systems in different care settings, for care at the point of need. Read more about how standards can support medicines reconciliation and reduce overprescribing: https://theprsb.org/prsb-response-to-national-over-prescribing-review-report/

Join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Committee on Improving the Representation of Women and Underrepresented Minorities in Clinical Trials and Research as it discusses its newly released report Improving Representation in Clinical Trials and Research: Building Research Equity for Women and Underrepresented Groups.
This new report makes a compelling case for why we need more equitable participation in clinical trials and clinical research, including an economic analysis on the cost of health disparities in the United States. It provides a review of the barriers to having more equitable participation in clinical trials, describes strategies to overcome those barriers, and provides actionable recommendations to drive lasting change on this issue.
The webinar will take place at 11:00-13:00 EST (16:00-18:00 GMT+1)
