FAQ Situation Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) collaborative
How many are permitted on a team?
SAFE is a multidisciplinary team-based learning programme. Learning sessions will be delivered virtually in 2021 with the possibility of an in-person graduation day in 2022 dependent on current NPHET guidelines. The dedicated SAFE faculty will facilitate your team’s SAFE journey using the methodology and will support you in working through your SAFE project in your own setting.
Your team must attend six learning sessions: a virtual learning session in September 2021, followed by five short, afternoon learning sessions from October 2021 to February 2022. These sessions will involve lectures, case studies, interactive group activities and project-based learning.
During the times between learning sessions, your team will use QI methodology to test improvement ideas in your hospital. Your team will need to meet regularly for short team briefings to work through the project. Teams that meet more often have shorter meetings!
Your SAFE team should include four members, representing senior clinical decision makers and key care providers to suit your setting.
Each member of the team must be able to exert organisational change within their institution. At least one consultant and one senior nurse must participate.
SAFE teams should expect to meet briefly at least weekly for the duration of the collaborative. During the COVID pandemic, team meetings were facilitated by virtual platforms which made meetings shorter and easier!
How much is SAFE?
