About this event
- Date and time Thu 11 Apr 2019 from 9:00am to 4:30pm
- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by Patient Safety
This event will examine how medical professionals can learn from the devastating outcome of a paediatric death and improve overall patient safety by undertaking best interests decision-making in paediatrics.
You will hear different perspectives from a Chief Coroner’s view on the role of Coroners and Inquests in learning from deaths, a small project being co-ordinated by NHS Resolution Safety and Learning that is seeking to change the perception of Coroner’s Preventing Future Deaths Reports, to the National Director for Patient Safety will provide an overview of the national learning from deaths framework.
A final session on legal framework will consolidate your learning by underpinning best interests decision-making in paediatrics, the role of CAFCASS on behalf of the patient, and the perspective of clinicians who are involved in these types of decision making processes.
Topics include:
- The role of Coroners (and Inquests) in learning from deaths, including particularly key themes arising out of Coroners’ Preventing Future Deaths Reports nationally
- NHS Resolution’s projects that are supporting learning from deaths, including their report on learning from suicide-related claims and a project aimed at changing perceptions regarding Coroners’ Preventing Future Deaths Reports
- The national learning from deaths framework, including any themes that are emerging nationally, any output from the framework and how it might interact with the planned roll-out of Medical Examiners
- The legal background and framework underpinning best interest decision-making in paediatrics
- The perspective of the child patient at the heart of these decision-making processes and the role of CAFCASS
- The experience of clinicians involved in these types of decision-making processes, including reflections and any learning
