Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess surgical safety checklists 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. Plans for the health and pharmaceutical services discipline often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants apply surgical safety checklists to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of health and pharmaceutical services before they become incidents. The content is relevant to those who own the health and pharmaceutical services capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. The course gives participants a defensible structure for surgical safety checklists and the judgement to adapt it. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of health and pharmaceutical services is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of health and pharmaceutical services survives a hostile question.
