Root Cause Analysis: 2 day masterclass

This two day intensive masterclass will provide Root Cause Analysis Training in line with the July 2019 Patient Safety Strategy.

This intensive two day masterclass will provide Root Cause Analysis training in line with the 2019 Patient Safety Strategy and subsequent guidance. The course will offer a practical guide to conducting RCA with a focus on systems-based patient safety investigation as proposed within the latest guidance released by NHS England and NHS Improvement. The course provides insights into how RCA is evolving and gives detailed information on what standards RCA investigations are expected to reach following the detailed recent reviews of patient safety work across the NHS and healthcare.  

The new National Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) published in 2020 highlights important changes to the way safety incidents will be investigated, which is reflected in this course. Key new content includes:

• Promotion of RCA as a tool for learning & improvement.
• Emphasis on increased use of listening & interview (staff and patients) to gain a better understanding of what has happened.
• The importance of Safety II and focusing on system strengths, plus linking RCAs to QI & clinical audit.
• More emphasis on human factors.
• Brief information on approaches that may be more appropriate to RCA (e.g. significant event analysis, after-action reviews).
