Proactive Approaches to Promoting Safe Healthcare
Open Seminar
13th October 2016
Unipart Conference Centre
Oxford

We are living through a period of unprecedented change; social and political; global and local. This has significant implications for how we view, and how we manage, safe healthcare. In this seminar we considered what the future might look like for all stakeholders concerned with the manner in which Human Factors impacts on safe care. How we can prepare for it, how we can adapt, and how we can monitor and improve?
