elearning for healthcare sessions in Foundation: Professional Capability: 19 Makes patient safety a priority in clinical practice

Foundation specific elearning is developed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) and is approved by UKFPO.

The drive for quality in the NHS has patient safety at its heart. The elearning sessions in ‘Professional Capability: 19 Makes patient safety a priority in clinical practice’ concentrate on safe practice and what to do when things go wrong.

It begins with an interactive case study where learners diagnose and treat a patient, then evaluate the management plan. Moving on, learners examine safe personal working practices when treating patients. The session also looks at the management of febrile illnesses, infection control and disease notification. The focus then shifts to the importance of maintaining the learners’ own health, both physical and mental.

Finally, the sessions look at the building blocks that support quality and safety in the NHS, including how to raise concerns about patient safety, team working, clinical governance, patient outcome and experience.
