Lydia Lofton, Dan Fossey, and Lizzie Biggart presented an abstract entitled “Impact of Interprofessional In-situ Simulated Team Training in the Paediatric Outpatient Department: A Patient Safety Initiative” at the Imperial College Centre for Patient Safety and Service Quality (CPSSQ) Annual Symposium on 16th September, 2014.
The symposium was organised by the National Institute for Health Research Imperial Patient Safety Translational Research Centre (NIHR Imperial PSTRC) on behalf of the CPSSQ. The symposium, which is now in its second year, aims to provide an opportunity to showcase examples of current PSTRC and CPSSQ research and to stimulate debate and discussion between researchers, healthcare professionals, members of the public and anyone with an interest in the safety and quality of healthcare.
SPRinT Team members were able to network with other delegates and discuss the advantages of bringing in-situ simulations to various settings within healthcare organizations in order to promote patient safety.
