RCPI SAFE

A practical, workplace-based patient safety improvement programme for multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

RCPI SAFE supports clinical teams to design, implement or improve a bespoke Safety Huddle in their own clinical setting. The programme combines patient safety science, quality improvement methods and expert coaching to help teams improve communication, strengthen safety culture and address a patient safety challenge that matters locally.

This is not a traditional course. There are no exams and no academic assignments. All learning is applied directly within your own workplace, allowing teams to make meaningful improvements while delivering clinical care.

SAFE is open to multidisciplinary teams from acute, community, mental health and hospice services. Successful teams bring together people who work in the same clinical area and are committed to improving patient safety together.
