Other Educational offerings
Board Development Session
PSIRF gives the Board of an NHS Trust, or other healthcare organisation, some big changes in leading and understanding oversight of safety. This Board Development session is led by a previous NHS Board member, and the author of the PSIRF Oversight Roles and Responsibilities document, and is structured around a challenging and interactive look at what oversight of PSIRF needs to deliver for an organisation
Action learning sets
PSIRF implementation
PSIRF implementation is hard. We recognise that and have lots of experience of supporting teams to implement, or review and update a past implementation. This can include reviewing your data, staff and patient consultation, and authoring the key documents. We bring experience of implemeting PSIRF ourselves, and supporting multiple organisations through this big transition in NHS governance processes.
Report writing
The action learning sets are specifically targeted at teams looking to develop their PSIRF/governance experience. We arrange to meet at a schedule that suits your timeframe, usually monthly, to go through the challenges of your current investigations, or anything PSIRF-related that you might need to discuss. Each session we bring a new focus, perhaps considering how we might compassionately engage with a certain patient group, or how to deal with a complexity in investigation findings.
Our report writing sessions are fully interactive, based upon the national template and structured to focus on all the aspects we need to think about before we even start to put our fingers on the keyboard to write our reports. Its important that our high quality reports, reflect high quality investigations, so we start there, and work through to writing reports that are easily understandable and usable for all audiences.
Introduction to Human Factors
Learn about how Human Factors can work for you in your setting. We can focus on usability, systems or a broader introduction to Human Factors. These sessions work best as a full day, with plenty of interaction planned for all participants.
