Course summary

This programme responds to service need to implement the service-user safety agenda in accordance with national policy. The World Health Organisation has acknowledged that the education and training of healthcare professionals has “been underused and under-valued as a vital tool for addressing the challenges of achieving improved patient safety”. This programme utilises the World Health Organisation Patient Safety Curriculum Guide to provide a growing awareness and recognition of service-user safety in health and social care.
