WPSD 2020: Patient Safety Learning workshop with staff on staff safety (video)

Summary

Today, on World Patient Safety Day, we're delighted to release a short video, giving you a glimpse into an online workshop we held, in partnership with Nutshell Communications, on 7 September. 

The intimate, highly participative event, known as Whose Shoes?, was attended by staff in health and care and patients, as part of our work around World Patient Safety Day. During the event, different scenarios – crowdsourced by real people – were discussed. The purpose of the event was for attendees to get together and openly talk about their personal experiences around key issues in staff safety and how they impact patient safety. 

Patient Safety Learning Chief Executive Helen Hughes, commented: 

"We were delighted with our collaboration with Whose Shoes. It’s an impressive approach to provide the space and support to consider real-life scenarios and hear people’s responses and personal experiences. It’s the first time we’ve done this and we want to do more! We’ve captured insights and pledges for staff safety improvement that will inform our work and the change we all want to see for safer healthcare."

Please enjoy this short video, giving you a glimpse into the event and an example of one of the scenarios we discussed.
