Oxford Open Grand Rounds - Designing healthcare for clinician wellbeing and patient safety

Clinician wellbeing and patient safety are often discussed separately. In practice, they are deeply interconnected and shaped not only by individual resilience, but by the design of the systems and environments in which clinicians work.

This Oxford Open Grand Round will explore how workplace design influences engagement, wellbeing, and patient safety, drawing on insights from surgery, anaesthesia, human factors, and improvement science.

The event will feature a 45-minute virtual panel discussion, followed by live audience Q&A, focused on:

▪️ What clinicians are really experiencing in today’s healthcare environments

▪️ The explicit and implicit impacts of design on wellbeing and safety

▪️ Practical, system-level opportunities for change.

Oxford Open Grand Rounds are part of the MSc in Surgical Science and Practice and the PGCert in Patient Safety & Quality Improvement, and are open to clinicians globally who are interested in making a meaningful difference in and around their workplace.
