Event details
This upcoming SafetyNet webinar on the Impact of shift work on safety outcomes for patients will featured Dr Chiara Dall’Ora, Associate Professor of Health Workforce at the University of Southampton.
Chiara is an Associate Professor and leads the Health Workforce & Systems research group. Chiara leads a research programme to improve health workforce wellbeing and performance, with a specific focus on work hours and workforce configuration and patient safety.
During this webinar, you will learn about the impact of a variety of staffing and shift work configurations on safety outcomes for patients. The body of research relies mostly on objective nurse roster data, as well as patient outcomes extracted from hospital systems. Using robust longitudinal methods, we have uncovered how working long shifts and high proportions of night shifts jeopardises patient safety. You will also learn what are the ongoing research projects that the team are leading on.
