Safety-II: A critical look at its promise and potential for health care

This webinar was the chance to explore the challenges and opportunities of the Safety-II approach with Mark Sujan, co-author of the BMJ Quality and Safety article ‘The problem with making Safety-II work in healthcare.’

10 Nov 2022
12:30 – 13:30

In 2020 Q’s Organisational Resilience & Safety-II’ Special Interest Group (SIG) ran workshops to share adaptations being made to address the emerging COVID-19 crisis. Many solutions were shared but significant challenges were identified. In this webinar we will build on the insights found and explore the arguments in the recent BMJ Quality and Safety article, ‘The problem with making Safety-II work in healthcare.’

We were joined by the paper’s co-author Mark Sujan, and leant into the promises and potential of Safety-II, and what gaps we need to bridge to revolutionise our understanding of what safety truly is in health care.

The one hour webinar covered:

  1. Outlining the challenges and opportunities of a Safety-II approach
  2. Hearing from peers implementing Safety-II
  3. Provided attendees with an opportunity to discuss their experiences of Safety-II in small groups

This webinar was organised by the Q’s ‘Organisational Resilience & Safety-II’ SIG – join the group!
