Course Overview

Where patient evacuation protocols depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Safety performance on the occupational health and safety discipline degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this aspect of occupational health and safety and under-invest in testing it. The most reliable predictor of sound patient evacuation protocols is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It treats the occupational health and safety capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the occupational health and safety discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on patient evacuation protocols and revise it on evidence. Participants test their assumptions about this aspect of occupational health and safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the occupational health and safety capability that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on patient evacuation protocols for senior management.

02

Address the human and organisational factors that make patient evacuation protocols fail.

03

Close out corrective actions on patient evacuation protocols rather than leaving them open.

04

Build competence and authorisation requirements for anyone working on patient evacuation protocols.

05

Set the minimum documentation for patient evacuation protocols that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.

06

Build the internal capability for patient evacuation protocols rather than depending on external support indefinitely.

07

Integrate patient evacuation protocols into the management of change process.

  • Check the procedure for patient evacuation protocols against how the work is actually done.
  • Record what was learned when patient evacuation protocols did not go as planned.

Session 2Reading the current state of patient evacuation protocols honestly

  • Test that protective equipment specified for patient evacuation protocols fits and is maintained.
  • Check that records of patient evacuation protocols answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Audit application of patient evacuation protocols controls at the workface.

02

Patient evacuation protocols: procedures, permits and practical controls

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The permit regime patient evacuation protocols needs, and the one it does not

  • Draft the minimum viable safety procedure for patient evacuation protocols.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in patient evacuation protocols.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about patient evacuation protocols.
  • Anticipate the objections patient evacuation protocols will raise and prepare the answers.

Session 2Where patient evacuation protocols typically breaks, and why

  • Check that lessons from patient evacuation protocols reached other sites doing similar work.
  • Arrange the handover of patient evacuation protocols so capability survives staff changes.
  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting patient evacuation protocols.
  • Reduce the variation in how patient evacuation protocols is carried out between teams.
03

Patient evacuation protocols: emergency response and rescue

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Who is competent to work on patient evacuation protocols, and how you know

  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for patient evacuation protocols, do not just publish it.
  • Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on patient evacuation protocols.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for patient evacuation protocols.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to patient evacuation protocols will be introduced.

Session 2Assessing the hazards in patient evacuation protocols without turning it into paperwork

  • Assess long-term health exposure created by patient evacuation protocols and arrange surveillance.
  • Confirm that controls on patient evacuation protocols sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in patient evacuation protocols short and non-punitive.
  • Ask the people doing patient evacuation protocols what makes the procedure hard to follow.
04

Patient evacuation protocols: leading indicators, audit and assurance

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating an incident involving patient evacuation protocols without hunting for blame

  • Define the trigger that would require patient evacuation protocols to be redesigned.
  • Set out how exceptions to patient evacuation protocols are requested and approved.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in patient evacuation protocols.
  • Investigate the last incident involving patient evacuation protocols to root cause, not to immediate cause.

Session 2What to measure in patient evacuation protocols and what to ignore

  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for patient evacuation protocols are proven before work starts.
  • Identify the hazards in patient evacuation protocols and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Remove steps in patient evacuation protocols that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Agree the smallest change to patient evacuation protocols that would be visibly useful.
