Course Overview
Where intra-hospital patient transfer safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Almost every serious incident involving transfer safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the occupational health and safety discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for intra-hospital patient transfer safety. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this area of occupational health and safety rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The course gives participants a defensible structure for transfer safety and the judgement to adapt it. The professional literature on intra-hospital patient transfer safety converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Ambition around transfer safety outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants leave with a plan for the occupational health and safety discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
