Foresight Training for Nurses Joanna Parker Head of Safer Practice
Aims of the presentation • Background and introduction to foresight training • The NPSA’s foresight training programme for nurses • Foresight in action: Interactive workshop
The 3-bucket model forassessing risky situations (Reason, 2005) 3 2 1 CONTEXT TASK SELF
Preventing something bad from happening • The neonatal arterial switch operation study • Risk assessing the task, context and self
Examples of foresight training • Non-technical skills training in aviation • Western Mining Corporation. ‘Take time, take charge’ (Hopkins) • Metropolitan police: hazard awareness training • ESSO’s ‘step back by five’ programme • BP’s integrity management training. • Approach to scene training by London Ambulance NHS trust • Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation (SBAR) (IHI, 2006)
Foresight training for nurses • A foresight training resource for NHS nurses in acute, primary care and mental health settings • Engaged stakeholders to shape the development of the training programme in the following ways: • Identifying and developing nursing foresight scenarios in primary care, mental health and acute settings • Identifying where foresight training ‘fits’ with existing nursing education and training
Focus Groups • 23 June, (primary care), 12 July (acute), 20 July, (mental health) • SWOT analysis of foresight training • Storytelling to identify potential scenarios
Focus Groups • 12-19 attendees from a range of jobs • Concept of foresight resonated with participants; three buckets model is a useful conceptual framework • Foundations already in place (i.e. Reflection in Action, good reporting culture) • Confusion about ‘near misses’ – foresight will address this and raise near miss reporting rates
Focus group feedback • Need to engage other professional groups, i.e. Phase 2. • Releasing staff for training and cost involved. • Importance of linking it to other training- not stand alone! • Need an implementation strategy which considers the broader organisational context.
TRAINING SCENARIOS • Unrecognised deterioration / deterioration not acted upon • Blood transfusion • Management of diabetes in the community • Obstetrics scenario • Dual prescription of an anti-psychotic drug • Nurse prescribing scenario in primary care Both video-based and paper-based to ensure flexibility
Four types of scenario • Spot the difference scenarios • Reflection in action • Story-telling • Garden path scenarios
Training materials • Combination of video-based and paper-based • Multi-media to ‘fit’ with local circumstances • Ranging from 20 minutes to 45 minutes • Based on real-life incidents, as sourced from the NPSA’s National Reporting and Learning System and the nursing focus groups • Accompanied by a facilitator’s guide
What are the benefits? • Facilitates learning about patient safety risks from more experienced nurses. • Improves nurses ability to recognise and intervene at the first symptoms of a problem. • Raises awareness of patient safety incidents, and in particular, near misses. • This in turn could lead to improved near miss reporting rates.
Implementation • Foresight training resources will be available at www.npsa.nhs.uk and the RCN’s Learning Zone from June 2007 • An off the shelf, flexible resource • Designed to fit into mandatory training programmes and team handovers • NPSA is working to raise awareness of the training amongst other professional groups
DETERIORATION INCIDENT • Watch the video • Think about the unfolding scenario • Contextualise in terms of the three buckets model

The 3-bucket model forassessing risky situations (Reason, 2005) 3 2 1 CONTEXT TASK SELF
What’s in the buckets? • Work in small groups • Discuss what was in the self, context and task buckets • Write one factor down on each post it note • 20 minutes to discuss as a group • 15 minutes group feedback
