DAY
14 June 2024
An After Action Review (AAR) is a facilitated discussion following an event to understand what happened and why. AARs involve key stakeholders involved in the incident and provide insight into how improvements could be made to help deliver safer care for patients. The AAR process emphasises the importance of a facilitated approach with all participants encouraged to work collaboratively to identify possible changes and improvements. AARs provide all participants with an opportunity to reflect and consider opportunities for self-learning.
AARs are gathering momentum within healthcare particularly since the approach was identified as one of the national learning response methods within NHS England’s Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) documentation. The workshop will commence by looking at a brief history of AAR across the globe and its recent transition as an approach to help healthcare teams better understand their patient safety incidents. The core part of the day will focus on the four questions involved in conducting an effective AAR and learners will be given the chance to put learning into practice by looking at relevant case studies and scenarios in small groups. The day will conclude with an honest assessment of AARs and consider the challenges and benefits of utilising this team approach in a healthcare setting.
This course is aimed at those who wish to lead and conduct AAR reviews plus those who are likely to take part in AAR investigations. The facilitators for this course will continue the journey beyond the course itself to support and enable you to develop your skills in AAR when you return to your organisation.
This masterclass will enable you to:
Understand history of AARs and why they are gathering momentum in healthcare
Appreciate what an AAR is and how it differs from other incident investigation methods

Written by ENT Surgeon David Alderson, True Cut is a new play that asks: “What happens when things go wrong in healthcare?” It brings the hidden world of the operating theatre onto the stage.
When promising, young surgeon, Jo, gets out of his depth, the repercussions are profound — for everyone involved.
In the papers, on TV, on social, medicine’s a pantomime: voyeuristic entertainment masquerading as news. There are really only two stories about surgeons: there’s the Hero’s Journey of unflagging compassion and selfless dedication in the face of overwhelming odds, of miracle cures wrought from challenge and graft; and then there are the evil villains for us to boo at and hiss: incompetent charlatans who should be named, shamed and punished to protect the innocent.
True Cut presents a dramatic biopsy cored from the hidden heart of surgery in the real words of those who work with our warm, wet flesh: constantly striving for the perfection that their patients deserve but fated, as humans, to sometimes fall short. It’s the story of those who learn to cut—and must learn how to live with the things that they do.
Following the performance there will be refreshments and the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with the creative team.
AGE 18+ True Cut portrays the events surrounding a tragic mistake in clinical practice, which has profound implications for the physical and mental health of all those involved. Audience members who have experienced similar traumas may find aspects of the performance distressing.
