This one day masterclass will focus on Safety Management Systems (SMS) in Healthcare. We will look at how other sectors and organisations have developed SMS to improve safety. SMS is a systematic and proactive approach to managing safety risks. A formal management system or framework can help you manage health and safety. Use of SMS can be generally interpreted as applying a quality management approach to control safety risks. Put simply, effective safety management systems use risk and quality management methods to achieve their safety goals.
HSIB’s work so far suggests that the NHS may benefit from exploring how a safety management system approach could be built on the foundations developed by the NHS Patient Safety Strategy (NHS England and NHS Improvement, 2021).
Key Learning Objectives:
- What are SMS?

- Error and Hazard prevention and control
- Leading Staff with Compassion and Civility
All Clinical Staff and Team Leads should attend.
