The Safety Toolkit for Emergency Departments

Summary

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine has developed The Safety Toolkit which aims to describe the structures, processes and skills required for a ‘safe’ department. There are resources identified within each section to stimulate, provoke and challenge, as well as guide personal development. There are overlapping references and differing perspectives but the vision is of a resource for change and development.
