Health Education England is hosting a conference to showcase human factors, patient safety and simulation initiatives across the south west. It is suitable for all healthcare professionals engaged with Patient safety, Quality Improvement, healthcare education and training. It will be a valuable resource for anyone wishing to improve quality of care and services within their own organisation.

 

During the past 12 months HEE has invested in trusts across the south west to enable the development of human factors training using simulation-based education to support safer practice within healthcare.  This has included funding of 16 Human Factors and Patient Safety Fellows to implement simulation educational techniques and other related approaches to improve service quality with staff.

This conference will provide an excellent networking opportunity and opportunity to meet the project fellows.
