    The NHS Communicate conference is back for a second year, offering an unparalleled opportunity for senior communicators across the health service to explore the reputational challenges facing the NHS and to share expertise and learning from healthcare and beyond. 
    It seems like a long time since members of the public were clapping for NHS staff at the height of the pandemic. Today, the NHS finds itself under increasing operational pressure, with lengthening waiting times and an exhausted workforce with low morale.
    With public satisfaction at a 25-year low, and following recent tax increases to fund extra investment, public scrutiny of the NHS has rarely been greater.
    Building on the great success of last year’s inaugural event, NHS Communicate 2022 is a chance to explore the impacts of the pandemic on the reputation of the NHS and the role of communications in supporting and helping to build and sustain its profile and reputation. Whether it is demonstrating the value the NHS delivers to patients, or positioning the NHS as an employer of choice, NHS communications plays a vital role.

    This one day masterclass will focus on a toolkit to allow organisations to use patient experience and incident to improve patient safety. The Toolkit uses 3 phases: planning, implementation and review. The Francis Report showed that the NHS had stopped listening to the needs of its users. Patient experience is still an underutilised tool in the armoury of a healthcare organisation and commissioners.
    The toolkit uses the priorities of the Francis Report to improve patient experience and patient safety. These include putting patients first, openness, candour, accountability, complaints handling, culture of caring and compassionate leadership.

    In its 15th year, the HSJ Patient Safety Congress is the largest annual event to unite patient safety leaders, front-line innovators, national policymakers and patient representatives from across the UK to learn and exchange ideas that will transform patient safety and standards of care.  
    Patient safety is a field that never stands still. Practitioners across the patient pathway are dedicated to continuous improvement and improving the patient experience, ensuring equity of care for all and optimising outcomes. As a result of this Congress, changes have been made to medical textbooks and led to new research being commissioned. But more importantly, it is through this event that changes are made within teams and organisations that help save lives.
    This year’s Congress will address both new and long-standing patient safety challenges, offering new insights, practical ideas and actionable solutions to help improve care in your organisation:
    Building a restorative culture. Integrating human factors approach to improve safety. Focusing on patient safety in non-acute settings. Practical approaches to patient and family engagement. Safety and equality in women’s health. Protecting and supporting our workforce. Improving governance and regulation to achieve consistent care. Encouraging clinician-led innovation. Examining safety for vulnerable people. Recognising and responding to the deteriorating patient. Breaking the cycle of repeat errors to advance the safety agenda. Responding to catastrophe in a healthcare setting. Reversing the impact of normalised deviance on patient safety. Eliminating unnecessary deaths in a post-pandemic. Register

    The Patient Academy for Innovation and Research (PAIR), Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI) and DakshamA Health are celebrating  World Patient Safety Day, with a webinar on the theme of "Role of stakeholders in GPSAP in the country's context to ensure medication safety". This event will bring all the stakeholders together to discuss their roles in ensuring medication safety and reducing medication-related harm through strengthening systems and practices of medication use, making the process of medication safer and free from harm and galvanizing action on the challenge by calling on all stakeholders to prioritize medication safety and address unsafe practices and system weaknesses.
    The objectives of World Patient Safety Day 2022 by WHO are -
    RAISE global awareness of the high burden of medication-related harm due to medication errors and unsafe practices, and ADVOCATE urgent action to improve medication safety.  ENGAGE key stakeholders and partners in the efforts to prevent medication errors and reduce medication-related harm.  EMPOWER patients and families to be actively involved in the safe use of medication. SCALE UP implementation of the WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm. Register for the webinar
    The webinar will take place at 3.00-4.30 IST (10.30am-12pm BST)

    Medication-related harm accounts for up to half of the overall preventable harm in medical care. Patients in low- and middle-income countries are twice more likely to experience preventable medication harm than patients in high-income countries. Considering this huge burden of harm, “Medication Safety” has been selected as the theme for World Patient Safety Day 2022.
    To commemorate the day, WHO is organizing a Global Virtual Event, calling on all stakeholders to join efforts globally for “Medication Without Harm”. During the event, stakeholders will discuss medication safety issues within the strategic framework of the WHO Global Patient Safety Challenge: Medication Without Harm, including 1) Patients and the public, 2) Health and care workers, 3) Medicines, and 4) Systems and practices of medication.
    Interpretations will be available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

    What we’re getting wrong about the “Five rights of medication use” and other safety myths
    Despite decades of focus, medication errors, which result from weak medication systems and human factors, constitute the greatest proportion of total preventable harm. Yet across decades of efforts to improve medication safety, a disproportionate burden continues to be placed on human performance, while examination and focus on improving systems and the cultures in which humans work is often limited and reactive.
    In recognition of World Patient Safety Day, this free Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) webinar examines how traditional approaches to medication safety continue to impede progress. Interprofessional faculty with expertise in systems thinking and human factors engineering will share insights on reorienting our thinking and approaches to medication safety. This webinar will provide fresh ideas for engaging a cross-disciplinary, systems perspective and harnessing team members in the improvement of systems to support medication safety.
    What you'll learn
    Review commonly held myths about humans that limit progress in medication safety, including the “Five Rights of Medication Use.” Discuss how human factors design and interventions support human performance and improvements in medication safety. Identify at least one idea for change that you can consider for improving medication safety in your organization. Register
    This webinar will take place at 12:00-13:00 ET (17:00-18:00 BST)
