On this safety focused episode: Lizzie Crisp (Senior Midwifery Lecturer) and Ben Woodrow-Hirst (Inter-Professional Education, Lecturer in Allied Health/ Simulation and Tech Enhanced Learning) find out what a failed launch of space shuttle and hand hygiene have in common?

Ben & Lizzie are joined by Dr Ed Tolhurst (Senior Lecturer and Researcher), and Dr Yetunde Ataiyero (Nursing Lecturer and Researcher) to explore in detail risk taking behaviors, including fundamental patient safety issues such as hand hygiene compliance. Using the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster as an example we navigate the complexities of visible and non visible outcomes of risk taking behavior. Throughout this podcast we take a journey with Yetunde back to her student nursing days, learn from her career in Nigeria, PhD and current role as an educator. Prepare for a interesting discussions about risk, systems failures, current hand hygiene practice, covid, education & patient safety.
