DESCRIPTION:\n	Speaker: Dr Debbie Clark\, Sheffield Hallam University\n\
	n\n\n	For many years standardisation has been relied upon to improve patie
	nt safety through reducing variation in care processes. Despite this appro
	ach being widely adopted across healthcare systems\, safety remains a conc
	ern.\n\n\n\n	Recently\, there have been developments in the field of patie
	nt safety theory that question if standardisation is the panacea for healt
	hcare improvement. ‘Safety II’ is a theory which views healthcare as a
	 complex system and regards safety as the ability to succeed within varyin
	g conditions. At the heart of this theory lies the assumption that variati
	on is not inherently risky\, and that resilient systems actually rely on t
	he ability of individuals\, teams\, and organisations to adapt their actio
	ns in response to changing work environments. Yet little is known about wh
	at is achieved for safety when healthcare staff adapt and work around the 
	rules put in place to create safety.\n\n\n\n	The overarching aim of my doc
	toral research was to explore whether safety standard workarounds (SSWAs) 
	can be used to support safety as part of an active risk management strateg
	y. Using an exploratory approach this aim was addressed by four objectives
	. The first objective explored the empirical literature to understand what
	 is known about SSWAs in healthcare. The review found SSWAs are prolific b
	ut emphasised the implications of what workarounds achieve for safety is u
	nclear. The second objective used an exemplar practice to explore what wor
	karounds look like within different healthcare settings. Objective three i
	nvestigated the similarities and differences in the enactment of SSWAs in 
	differing settings and explored what workarounds achieve for safety. Objec
	tive four\, examined multi-level stakeholder perceptions of SSWAs and expl
	ored the potential for operationalising the safer use of workarounds in pr
	actice and policy. Together the studies in this project highlight that SSW
	As sometimes enhance safety. This has implications for healthcare practice
	\, policy\, and future research.\n\n\n\n	Register\n\n
