Sir Bruce Keogh (NHS England Medical Director) and a patient safety advocates join a multi-disciplinary team of delegates.
NHS England Medical Director, Sir Bruce Keogh attended our HF Fundamentals (Level 1) course in order to gain insight into Just Culture and how the medical profession can adapt. During his day he was paired with not only other healthcare professionals but also an avid patient safety campaigner, Ken Lownds, who has campaigned on a wide range of issues from NHS restructuring to improving patient safety.
Bruce’s attendance led to some interesting and in-depth discussions during both the plenaries and especially during the debrief sessions following the practical simulations. The discussion, facilitated by our faculty, encompassed the way Human Factors should and can play a role in the future of the NHS’ patient safety agenda, strengthened by the broad multi-disciplinary nature of our delegates.
