Description
Explore the importance of medication safety in anaesthesia, focusing on a systems-based approach rather than individual blame.
Objectives
Identify common causes of medication errors in anaesthesia practice, including human and system factors.
Understand the principles of a “Just Culture” and how they support learning from errors rather than assigning blame.
Apply strategies to prevent medication errors, such as standardisation, double-check systems, and clear labelling.
Promote a safety culture within anaesthesia teams that encourages open communication, incident reporting, and continuous improvement.
