Using the huddle technique to improve patient safety

Clinicians from Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital who are involved in the S.A.F.E project talk about how the ‘huddle’ technique – a ten minute free, frank exchange of information between clinical and non-clinical professionals involved in a patient’s care every few hours – is helping them to improve their situation awareness, resolve risks to patient safety more quickly and reduce harm.

This project, funded through our Closing the Gap in Patient Safety programme, is being led by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
