NACOP Webinar - Transforming Safety Culture in Healthcare Teams - 21st January
A strong safety culture is fundamental to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. This NACOP webinar will explore how healthcare teams can actively transform safety culture through structured programmes, meaningful co-production, and collaborative teamwork.
The session will discuss the key components of an effective safety culture programme and examine how co-production with patients and families can strengthen teamwork, trust, and shared responsibility for safety. Drawing on real-world experience, the webinar will also highlight a local project focused on improving teamwork, co-designed and co-delivered by patients and healthcare professionals.
Through practical insights and reflective discussion, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how inclusive, team-based approaches can drive sustainable improvements in safety culture across healthcare settings.
