Street: University of York
The healthcare sector purchases and employs a huge range of products and services. Each product or service has a lifecycle, from its initial concept and design, through purchasing, introduction to service, and finally to continued operation and disposal or termination at the end of its useful life.
What are the safety aspects of this process? How should developers proceed with the aim of purchasers being able to use their product or service safely in a healthcare setting? How should buyers, procurers and users determine safety requirements, and contracts, to ensure safety throughout the lifecycle?
The team in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York has a worldwide reputation for its CPD activity in system safety. Students from both the medical device and e-health community have attended these courses. Combinations of teaching methods are used to produce a stimulating and challenging learning experience. This one-day master class will address subjects including the following:
• Patient Safety and Patient Safety lifecycle
• Introducing a safe system: Safety risk measures and safety cases
• Using a system safely: Safety Management Systems
Cost of the event is £100 per person.
