Associate Professor David Waters: The Second Victim in the ICU: supporting the error-maker

This lecture will explore the critical issues associated with errors occurring within the ICU setting, including the prevalence, nature and contributing factors.  In addition, the talk will explore the impact of errors for patients, clinicians and healthcare organisations.  The direct consequences for the error maker or 'second victim' will be discussed, with specific focus also on their support needs following an error event.
