Adverse events are a significant quality and safety issue in the hospital setting due to their direct impact on patients. Additionally, such events are often handled by junior doctors due to their direct involvement with patients. As such, it is important for health care organisations to prioritise education and training for junior doctors on identifying adverse events and handling them when they occur. How we make this education relevant and engaging remains a key challenge.

7. “It was helpful to know that there was a shared
terminology globally (across institutions). Everyone
is dealing with the same problems internationally
and people are working in the same framework. It
was nice to see this is what everyone, everywhere
is dealing with.” – STUDY PARTICIPANT
