Improving safety through education and training - HEE
Safety in healthcare is everyone’s responsibility and has been a mantra for many years. Despite the rhetoric however, critical incidents that destroy people’s lives sadly continue and their prevalence remains by and large static. Near misses occur regularly and lessons are rarely learnt or disseminated through the system. This is a universal problem but one that we believe the NHS is well placed to tackle and if we get it right the NHS could be a world leader. Getting it right involves instilling the right culture from the very beginning of a healthcare worker’s career. Education and training from undergraduate and apprentice level throughout one’s career can not only embed the right approach to preventing and learning from errors but also keeps the mind receptive to new ideas that could improve safety.
