Speaking Up for Safety™ Programme 2021 release: Guidance for SUFS Presenters

Cognitive Institute > Speaking Up for Safety™ Programme 2021 release: Guidance for SUFS Presenters

As part of Cognitive Institute’s quality assurance practices, we periodically release programme material updates. The Speaking Up for Safety™ programme 2021 release brings changes to the delivery of the one-hour seminar, specifically:

  • Exercise 1: Barriers
  • Video demonstrations
  • Exercise 2: Rehearsal

The Speaking Up for Safety programme has not been changed and the intent of the one-hour seminar remains the same. We encourage accredited Speaking up for Safety Presenters to review the guidance below to learn about the changes and gain strategies for seminar delivery.

View the Speaking up for Safety one-hour seminar video demonstration

Watch Dr Stephen Priestley, Senior Medical Educator, Cognitive Institute deliver the one-hour seminar and observe how he runs each exercise and uses his presence, voice and the audience to deliver the presentation with impact.


 

Understand the changes and revise your seminar delivery

Watch Dr Priestley demonstrate how to facilitate each exercise by setting the scene, explaining the purpose, and eliciting audience response and action.

Exercise 1: Barriers

In place of:  Exercise 1
New delivery format: Scripted dialogue

This exercise has been changed to a scripted dialogue between facilitator and one participant. As demonstrated in the video, the scripted dialogue is read to invite audience engagement and discussion.

Delivery:

  • Six clinical and non-clinical scenarios are available for this exercise and are included in the 2021 release training material.
  • Choose a scenario most relevant to the majority of participants in each seminar.
  • Identify and ask an audience member to assist with the exercise prior to the seminar commencing. No acting is required, only reading short responses.


 

Video Demonstration

In place of:  Exercise 2
New delivery format: Video

A video featuring Cognitive Institute Faculty is now used to demonstrate the Safety C.O.D.E.TM language. 

This new format is similar to the original Exercise 2 videos with ‘Check’, ‘Option’, ‘Demands’ and ‘Elevates’ graphics showing samples of language. ‘Elevates’ now includes language that demonstrates both forecasting and elevating

Delivery:

  • Choose two video scenarios, from the three embedded in the seminar PowerPoint, to show participants.


 

Exercise 2: Rehearsal

In place of:  Exercise 3
New delivery format: Video

This exercise is a single video scenario for participants to rehearse using their own Safety C.O.D.E. language.

Delivery:

  • The scenario embedded into the seminar PowerPoint is a colleague expressing concern around hand hygiene.
  • Invite participants to write down their own Safety C.O.D.E. language. 
  • The instructions and setup for this exercise are essentially the same as when there was a choice of videos. The running of the exercise, including specific instruction, timing, supervision and wrapping up, remains unchanged.
