Integrate emergency staff psychological safety into the management of change process.
Building Psychological Safety Programmes for Emergency Medical Staff
Build a working method for emergency staff psychological safety that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
A procedure for emergency staff psychological safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Safety performance on psychological safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this aspect of occupational health and safety is rarely technical. It establishes a shared vocabulary for emergency staff psychological safety so that teams can disagree productively about it. Ambition around this area of occupational health and safety outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for psychological safety. Participants test their assumptions about emergency staff psychological safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants gain a realistic view of what psychological safety costs and what it returns. Participants leave with a plan for this part of occupational health and safety sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
