Overview
Key facts
This course covers the skills required to carry out an effective healthcare based incident investigation. Subjects covered include interviewing, analysis, family engagement, human factors and report writing.The way healthcare investigates and learns from patient safety incidents is increasingly in the public eye and as such the need for a professional approach to investigation is essential at all levels. This need has been highlighted in numerous healthcare reports published over the last 5 years. Cranfield Safety and Accident Investigation Centre has over 40 years experience training safety investigators. We are now pleased to build on a recent history training national healthcare investigators and expand this knowledge exchange to a Trust level cohort.
