Patient safety – Defusing after unintended events

Unintended events, errors and unsatisfactory procedures are experienced by both staff,  patients and their relatives in the health care system. These events influences our everyday clinical work no matter what profession we belong to. Both patients/relatives and staff report a wide variety of unintended events. As professionals we are obligated to look out for one another when these events occur, not least when it affects patients and their relatives.

  • ​Defusing – Knowledge of the concept and the practical use

  • Techniques for communication with patients and their relatives
  • Situation games
  • Constructing action plans for yourself and your department
