Design a process for health facility occupational safety that clinical staff can follow without obstructing care.
Managing Environmental Safety and Occupational Health in Health Facilities
Move health facility occupational safety from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
In healthcare, a weakness in health facility occupational safety is eventually paid for by a patient. The data supporting occupational safety is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Progress on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme is built to be used, and every section of health facility occupational safety it covers ends in something applicable. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services, not for observers of it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about occupational safety in their own setting. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about health facility occupational safety. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place occupational safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of health and pharmaceutical services sustainable.
