In 2025\, the focus is on paed iatric patient safety to ensure safe care for every newborn and child.\n \nWith the slogan "Patient safety from the start!"\, the WHO is encourag ing parents\, caregivers\, healthcare professionals\, leaders\, educator s\, and communities to \ncome together and take action to prevent avoida ble harm in children's healthcare.\n\nUnited in this shared goal to bett er understand and improve paediatric patient safety\, the RCPCH and Safe tyNet – the National Institute Health and Care Research (NIHR) Patient S afety Research Collaboration (PSRC) Network - are hosting a joint webina r to explore the question:\n\nWhat are the challenges in paediatric pati ent safety\, and how do we respond to them?\n\nBoth organisations are in terested in both persistent and emerging safety issues. We know that avo idable harm is caused to children and young people by the complexity in the delivery of their care. The most common causes of avoidable healthca re harm are related to medicines\, access to diagnosis and treatment rel ated to service design\, and challenges in recognising deterioration in sick children. \n\nThis webinar is for anyone interested in paediatric p atient safety to listen and contribute. You will hear from speakers incl uding Dr Peter Lachman\, Consultant Paediatrician and Patient Safety Exp ert\, who will talk about the work done to mitigate risk and the gaps re maining in research and practice.\n\nWhat to expect from the webinar< /b>\n\n- An overview of how RCPCH and NIHR PSRCs are currently tackling paediatric patient safety\n\n- A picture of potential themes for future paediatric patient safety research and quality improvement work\n\n- An invitation to collaborate in the process of developing research and impr ovement priorities for paediatric patient safety\n\nWhat will this do ?\n\nYou will be able to ask questions and contribute to the convers ation. \n\nWe also know that discussing issues is not the same as affec ting them. That’s why\, following this webinar\, the RCPCH and NIHR Safe tyNet will establish a steering group to develop a priority-setting proc ess for future research and practice areas. More details to follow.\n\n< b>What will this do?\n\nThis webinar is open to anyone interested in improving paediatric patient safety including\, but not limited to\, cl inicians\, health policy decision makers\, charities and families. \n\n This webinar is hosted by RCPCH and NIHR PSRC Network (SafetyNet) and ta kes place on World Patient Safety Day.\n STATUS:TENTATIVE TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CLASS:PUBLIC LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
