Webinar recording: Responding to the treatment backlog safely (16 September 2020)

Summary

This is the first of a series of webinars Patient Safety Learning, Health Plus Care and BD are holding on patient safety on the frontline, exploring burning patient safety issues and engaging with frontline healthcare workers, clinical leaders and patient safety experts.

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on access to non-COVID care and treatment. We know there are over a million extra patients awaiting hospital treatment. The NHS has issued guidance for ‘accelerating the return to near-normal levels of non-COVID health services, making full use of the capacity available in the ‘window of opportunity’ between now and winter.’

In this webinar, the panel discusses these issues with frontline clinicians and patient safety experts.
