A new approach to Structured Judgement Reviews (SJRs); using them as a triage tool and avoiding the use of poor and very poor to better align with PSIRF.
This course looks at moving SJRs away from questions of avoidability of harm and instead looks at how they can be used to determine what type of learning response should follow a patient’s death. The explicit judgements of poor and very poor that are in traditional SJR models are no longer helpful and delegates will be provided with updated and positive alternatives that focus on organisational learning.
Who should attend?
Healthcare professionals tasked with deciding on an appropriate learning response following the death of a patient. Healthcare professionals who undertake Structured Judgement Reviews who wish to align these with PSIRF principles.
Key learning objectives
Where SJRs fit in the overall clinical governance structure of their organisation, why they are being conducted and what questions they are designed to answer. How to organise case notes for effective review; use of timelines. What other sources of evidence to consider. Making explicit judgements around quality of care; evidence base and standards used. When and how to escalate potential issues with professional conduct. Register

Health professionals are regularly confronted with emotional events in the delivery of care. While some of these events induce extreme emotional states such as stress, most are associated with milder states such as frustration at a perceived lack of professionalism, sadness at an undesired patient prognosis, or happiness following a positive clinical encounter. Current research in neuroscience and cognitive sciences indicates that emotions modulate a variety of cognitive processes, including perception, memory, attention, and reasoning. As such, emotion-evoking situations likely affect what information health professionals attend to, what they remember, as well as the way in which they make decisions in practice. The purpose of this presentation is to present an overview of the literature on emotions and performance, and discuss the implications for patient care.

The Patient Safety Rights Charter, endorsed globally and launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in September 2023, is a foundational document aimed at establishing key patient rights to ensure safe healthcare worldwide. Designed to align with the Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030, this Charter emphasizes eliminating preventable harm in healthcare and safeguards patient rights to timely, effective, and respectful care. Grounded in international human rights standards, it affirms that safe and high-quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, everywhere, underscoring the need for patient engagement, informed decision-making, and fair treatment across all healthcare settings.
To highlight the importance of the Patient Safety rights Charter, WPA is organising a Webinar on the Patient Safety Rights Charter.

ECRI's Top 10 Health Technology Hazards for 2025 will identify the most significant and emerging risks in healthcare technology that require urgent attention this year. This influential annual report, now in its 18th year, has become a trusted resource for hospitals, health systems, ambulatory surgery centres and other care providers, as well as for medical device manufacturers and regulatory agencies. The report serves as a guide to help these organizations identify and address potential hazards that can impact both patient safety and staff well-being. Each year, ECRI evaluates and prioritizes risks across a wide range of healthcare technologies, offering actionable recommendations and specific calls to action for the industry to mitigate these dangers.
The 2025 report covers 10 technology-related patient safety threats that warrant priority attention in today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. By identifying these risks early, ECRI helps healthcare providers and manufacturers take proactive steps to minimize harm, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the overall safety and reliability of healthcare systems.
We invite you to join ECRI's Device Evaluation leaders as they examine the 10 hazards covered in our 2025 report. A panel of ECRI experts will describe the risks and offer insight into how each issue impacts both healthcare organizations and patients, and how all stakeholders can take effective action to reduce these risks.
Learning Objectives
This lab webcast will cover:
The Challenges: Overview of the 10 technology safety topics selected for ECRI's 2025 report, along with discussion of the potential consequences for patient safety, clinician efficiency, and operational effectiveness. Practical Solutions: Step-by-step strategies and best practices for mitigating these risks, including recommendations for device selection and implementation, user training, and risk management practices that can help prevent harm. Industry Collaboration: Discussion of the current state of technology development and recommendations for how device manufacturers and other stakeholders can respond to these risks and improve the safety and reliability of these products. By participating in this webcast, you will gain a deeper understanding of the technology hazard landscape, learning how to identify and address the most pressing health technology hazards in your organization, and how collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem can drive meaningful change.
