This two day masterclass will start by providing learners with a full understanding of the various approaches
that can now be used to conduct patient safety incident investigation (PSIIs) followed by how to use Human Factors in your workplace.
All medical and non-medical staff should attend.
DAY 1 - EFFECTIVE PATIENT SAFETY INVESTIGATIONS
The Patient Safety Strategy (2019) advises that organisations must adopt a new and broader approach to stimulate learning from patient safety incidents. This course is designed to assist healthcare professionals
involved in this important work. All content and guidance will be aligned to current best practice and
feedback from the early adopter sites that have been implementing the new Patient Safety Incident
Response Framework (PSIRF).
Day one will be fast-paced and provide learners with a full understanding of the various approaches that
can now be used to conduct patient safety incident investigation (PSIIs).

Day 2 is facilitated by Mr Perbinder Grewal, who will guide you in how to use Human Factors in your
workplace. All medical and non-medical staff should attend. Leadership in the NHS is the responsibility of all staff.
