P403 Outcomes from the second Improving Safety and Reducing Error in Endoscopy (ISREE) workshop

Introduction The JAG ‘Improving Safety and Reducing Error in Endoscopy’ strategy was created to improve patient safety in endoscopy. A one day ISREE workshop was held to deliver training on safety-related issues in endoscopy, provide an update on ISREE activity and develop new ideas for future strategies. Methods The workshop consisted of didactic and interactive sessions. Didactic sessions focused on safety metrics in endoscopy, simulation training, learning from incident and anaesthesia in endoscopy. Facilitated group sessions reviewed key areas where renewed focus was required: utilising patient feedback, digital innovation and supporting colleagues. An interactive electronic voting system and field notes were used to collect data. Measured outcomes were pre and post-workshop knowledge of ISREE-related patient safety topics and self-rated confidence scores against 8 pre-defined statements. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to assess differences in scores. Thematic analysis was conducted on transcribed data from group discussion and participant feedback. Results There were 22 attendees from a multidisciplinary background, including gastroenterologists, surgeons, nurses, trainees and human factors/patient safety experts. Globally, there was significant improvement in knowledge scores (p Three major themes were identified: developing repositories of good practice through patient feedback, standardising digital referral data and developing coaching and mentoring strategies to support colleagues. The majority (90.9%) of participants felt that the workshop had increased their understanding of strategies to improve safety in endoscopy. Conclusions The ISREE workshop improved knowledge and confidence in areas of patient safety relevant to endoscopy, with positive engagement from participants. Novel ideas were generated that have informed current and future ISREE strategies.
