SEIPS in maternity film (Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals, 18 June 2024)

Summary

This film demonstrates how using SEIPS can help illuminate contributory factors within a work system, such as unconscious bias, stereotyping, workload, incivility, societal pressures and environmental factors under the six entity headings. Staff watch an animated explanation of SEIPS and then a short fictional maternity scenario looking out for relevant contributory factors. After viewing the film staff take part in a facilitated discussion to reflect.

It is hoped that those using this film will be able to build on this experience, and then reflect on their own clinical service through the SEIPS lens, as taking a systems-based approach will strengthen a Just Culture, reduce blame and supports the PSIRF process.
