This one day masterclass is part of a series of masterclasses focusing on how to use Human Factors in your workplace.
Leadership in the NHS is the responsibility of all staff. Understanding human factors will allow healthcare to enhance performance, culture and organisation.
These masterclasses have been designed to align with the new Patient Safety Syllabus and subsequent Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF). We will look at why things go wrong and how to implement change to prevent it from happening again or mitigate the risks.

This September, join the global patient safety community for the annual World Patient Safety Day (WPSD), organised by the World Health Organization. This year’s theme is ‘Engaging patients for patient safety’, in recognition of the crucial role patients, families and caregivers play in the safety of healthcare.

It hopes to facilitate impactful and insightful conversations about how key stakeholders can work together to empower patients with becoming advocates for their own safety to improve outcomes.
This event has been co-designed with valuable input from patient representatives from the NIHR North West London Patient Safety Research Collaboration’s Research Partners Group and the ICHT’s Patient Safety Partners, acknowledging the value of the patient perspective.

Employee investigations refers to the investigation of allegations made by and against staff.
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) is responsible for the planning, delivery, and commissioning of NHS Wales services for a population of over 660,000 citizens. It employs over 15,000 staff.
ABUHB started a programme of work to improve its employee investigations because its HR team identified that during a 15-month period, over 50% of investigations had led to no sanctions for individuals who had been taken through them. Their Employee Wellbeing Service had been concerned about the number of clients who had experienced significant stress and trauma as a result of going through the employee investigation process.
The focus of the intervention was to reduce ‘avoidable employee harm’ by reducing the number of employees subjected to investigations, and to reduce the duration of investigations that take place.
Andrew Cooper and Liz Rogers from ABUHB will present the case study and report back on the intervention outcomes, key learning points and progress made to date.
The webinar will last one hour with time for questions to the presenters.

Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in healthcare, especially in nursing homes, where up to 75% of antibiotics are prescribed inappropriately. Contributing to this is pressure from residents and families, antiquated prescribing practices, and a “What could it hurt?” mentality.
Whether you need to rebuild your antibiotic stewardship program from scratch or just want to make sure all the basics are covered, sign up for the Patient Safety Authority "Antibiotic Stewardship Webinar Series". Participants will receive an overview of antibiotic stewardship, assistance in evaluating current policies/processes, and tools to develop an effective programme.
