Patient Safety & Safeguarding

27 Sep 2024 9:45 a.m. to 27 Sep 2024 4:30 p.m.

GOSH Learning Academy Events, Hybrid

Hybrid Event - Weston House Lecture Theatre and online

This event will bring together experts in the fields of safeguarding children, patient safety, psychology and simulation with academics from the University of East Anglia and elsewhere to lead an in-depth examination of the challenges of managing complexity and uncertainty.

Working together, delegates and speakers will explore some of these issues and the tools that support us in addressing them.

Learning objectives:

  • Decision making in complex and uncertain situations, whether it is a decision about a potential safeguarding concern, or about keeping a patient clinically safe?
  • What are some of the theoretical frameworks behind decision-making?
  • Psychological barriers to effective decision making.
  • Consider the systemic issues can affect decision-making, are they organisational or professional boundaries, or perhaps political?
  • Examine emotional support in complex decision making and the impact it can have

The morning sessions are hybrid and include keynotes, panel discussions and Q&A. The afternoon sessions are only open to face-to-face delegates and include workshops and group discussions, which will explore some of these ideas in more detail, using anonymised case studies.

Who should attend:

This event is open to all paediatric healthcare professionals.
