With more than 300 million patients consulting with primary care teams annually it’s unfortunately inevitable that a proportion will suffer some form of unintentional harm, mostly of low to moderate severity. Research has suggested that around 1-2% of consultations in primary care are associated with an adverse event. The cost of harm – to patients, to those working in healthcare, and to productivity – is significant.

Creating a positive safety culture can be achieved by avoiding complacency and encouraging vigilance towards patient safety. Such a culture means that people feel comfortable discussing errors, and leaders and frontline staff take shared responsibility for delivering safer care.

The benefits of attending this workshop include:

  • Enhance your understanding of patient safety and associated terminology.
  • Help you to appreciate some of the regulatory and professional obligations relating to reporting and learning.
  • Develop skills in undertaking a systems based approach to significant event analysis.
  • Enable you to critically review a significant event report.
