Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess patient safety programmes on documented evidence of consistent practice. In healthcare, a weakness in this strand of health and pharmaceutical services is eventually paid for by a patient. Participants apply the health and pharmaceutical services capability to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course covers patient safety programmes at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services. Improvement in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place patient safety programmes among the areas with the widest performance spread. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within health and pharmaceutical services ready to put in front of a decision maker.
