Webinar outline
After introductions by the HSIB Director of Investigations and Associate Director of Maternity Investigations, the team covered the HSIB approach to investigations, and how they engage with both staff and patients.
HSIB then shared findings from their recent national investigation into emergency responses to heart attacks as well as a recent maternity investigation, both of which involved ambulance services. The webinar also featured a brief video which explains the investigation process and what someone could expect if interviewed by HSIB staff.
Afterwards there was the opportunity to ask questions to a panel of HSIB investigators.
