Hello, my name is Jonathan Bamber. I'm the head of quality improvement at the RCPCH, and today I'd like to talk about patient safety and how we can support all of our members and children and young people in this area.
We have been working for the last few years on programmes like the SAFE programme and production of web pages and resources around patient safety. We have a patient safety portal which collects information around patient safety, where there will be a link on this video for you to look at. Within that includes things like podcasts on safety, safety culture, psychological safety, how to learn from harm, inequality and safety, and other aspects to support you in patient safety.
To help you with patient safety, we've also launched a safety e-bulletin. If you are an RCPCH member, you will be receiving this every two months. There was one that went out in December of 24, another one in February, and it will happen every two months from then. This is a summary or a snapshot of what's happening in paediatric patient safety for you to be able to get quick links onto that information. If you're not a member, you can go to our website, that same portal, and you can see previous editions. Thank you and goodbye.
