Global State of Patient Safety and the Role of Leadership
On the 8th of March SHARE hosted the workshop 'Global State of Patient Safety and the Role of Leadership'. The workshop was based on the Global State of Patient Safety 2023 report, from the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College, London. The report shows that Norway ranks number one in the world in patient safety. But is this realy the case? And if so, what can we learn from these highly positive results? To dive into these interesting research questions some of the world's leading thinkers and practitioners in patient safety were gathered for a more nuanced examination of this achievement. Asking questions like; how could this position be maintained by continued focus on leadership, workforce dynamics, and the invaluable contributions of informal caregivers?
Professor Jeffrey Braithwaithe had the pleasure of introducing the issue and provide some context, before two of the creators of the report Professor Michael Durkin and senior researcher Melanie Leis from Imperial college, UK dived into the details of the report. The workshop focused on bringing people together to discuss challanges and solutions.
The future of leadership and support for the workforce and informal caregivers
On Friday 15 March 2024 09:00-13:00, at the Ydalir Hotel, the SHARE - Center for Resilience in Healthcare hosted a open seminar 'The future of leadership and support for the workforce and informal caregivers'.
The seminar rooted in the current and future challenge across the world where elderly care experiences labour shortages, lack of qualified healthcare workers and a major mismatch of capacity and demands in healthcare services, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental health and wellbeing among healthcare workers, leaders, and informal caregivers. To discuss how such challanges can be adressed the seminar gathered international recognized researchers such as Professor Charles Vincent, Professor Catherine Calderwood, Senior Research Fellow Louise Ellis and founding Member of Patients For Patient Safety, USA Martin Hatlie. The speakers adressed the issues from different viewpoints such as theory, practice adnd patient and family members point of view.
