Applications are open for a new cohort of the RCPI Being Safe Together Programme launching in September 2025.
The programme formally known as SAFE (Situation Awareness for Everyone), is a short, 6-month collaborative patient safety education programme facilitated by RCPI expert faculty, funded by HSE National Quality and Patient Safety. Multidisciplinary hospital-based teams learn how to implement an innovative safety improvement bundle, designing a new or improved Safety Huddle tailored to their clinical needs and setting.
The bundle teaches effective implementation of key safety interventions such as the Irish National Early Warning System (INEWS), effective communication, psychological safety and medicines safety in adult, paediatric, maternity and neonatal settings.
The programme represents an excellent opportunity for multidisciplinary frontline clinical teams to further develop quality improvement (QI) and patient safety skills to tackle a specific problem area of their choice.
The deadline for applications is Friday 18 July at 5pm.
