W5: Decoding Safety Risk: The Collaborative Interactive Mayhem Room for Patient Safety Training with Healthcare Professionals, Patients and Families
Wednesday 13 August 2025 | 13:30-16:30
Format: Workshop
Step into the Mayhem Room, an immersive and interactive simulation designed to transform patient safety education. Participants will navigate a realistic patient care environment deliberately staged with hidden safety hazards and errors. The session is structured for small groups, with a maximum of 10 participants per group and up to three groups per session, ensuring personalized engagement and active participation.
Delegates will spend a total of 1 hour including observing and identifying safety risks, followed by facilitated debriefing session to reflect, share insights, and discuss actionable strategies for improvement. This hands-on experience sharpens situational awareness, a critical yet challenging skill to develop and fosters a deeper understanding of patient safety principles.
For this session, we aim to include different levels of healthcare professionals as well as patients and families as equal partners in care. This inclusiveness promotes a learning environment that bridges gap, strengthens collaboration, and advances patient safety practices.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Enhanced Situational Awareness: Help participants sharpen their ability to recognize and understand safety risks through hands-on simulation in realistic, controlled patient care scenarios.
- Enhance Collaborative Safety Practices: Enable healthcare professionals, patients, and families to actively participate in safety discussions during debriefing sessions, fostering mutual understanding and shared strategies for improvement.
- Promote Equal Partnership in Care: Empower patients and families to understand common safety risks, engage with healthcare systems, and contribute their perspectives as equal partners in fostering a strong safety culture.
