​​​​​​​​​​​Learning Cluster

This cluster focuses on understanding and improving the safety of care practices.

​

• Safer Services: We evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new care approaches through comprehensive mixed methods. This allows us to gain valuable insights and identify areas for improvement in service delivery.

• Safer Organisations: We conduct in-depth analyses of recent episodes of care to uncover best practices. By learning from past experiences, we aim to prevent future harm and promote safer organisational practices.
