Safety in Healthcare: Emergency Procedures

Emergencies can cause panic, and in turn unnecessaryaccidents and injuries. If and when an emergency does ever happen at your workplace, a well-informed and prepared workforce will undergo the evacuation in a safe and orderly fashion preventing risks to life and equipment. This Emergency Procedures course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the safety of themselves and others during emergencies, particularly in a healthcare setting. Once the course is completed, you will have learnt how to effectively coordinate and execute orderly evacuations, how to recognize and utilise emergency features in the healthcare facility, and how to prioritise the well-being of patients inhigh-stress situations. This course is one part of our 20 part “Safety in Healthcare” series aimed exclusively at healthcare workers.
