(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), a global initiative of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), will hold a webinar to discuss the high emotional burden healthcare staff face, which organisations must take into consideration to promote safer healthcare for patients.
The webinar will take place tomorrow as part of the 'Safer Care Accelerator' series by Leading Health Systems Network, a WISH initiative to share best practice and inspire health systems worldwide to provide safer care for patients. The initiative is aligned with QF's mission to reinforce Qatar's pioneering role as an emerging centre for healthcare innovation while also unlocking human potential.
Professor Jane Reid, professional adviser to Health Education England, a public body dedicated to the improvement of the quality of healthcare in the UK, will host the webinar entitled 'Human factors awareness: the foundation for compassionate, safe care'. The webinar will also explore how the well being of staff members should be taken into consideration and how organisations should help build resilience among staff members by supporting them in their care-giving role.
Participants will discuss the assertion that organisations need to factor in the human emotional needs of care-givers, and assess the well being of staff members, including stress levels, burnout and emotional resilience. The webinar will focus on care in England and discuss the assertion that equipping frontline staff members with skills in safety and improvement must be regarded as essential for the delivery of safe and compassionate care.
Professor Reid said: "Health innovation and improvement is a global phenomenon driven by cost containment, rights of access, universal coverage, ethics, cost-effective delivery and safeguarding those who cannot afford to pay. Contemporary healthcare is punctuated by calls for reform and safety improvement by public and governments in equal measure."
