The essential course for NHS, health and social care complaints handlers, managers, supervisors and HR professionals.
Course brochure
Introduction
This healthcare complaints resolution course has been designed to assist delegates to secure constructive and meaningful resolutions to patient complaints. It achieves this by providing a compassionate and highly effective model for responding to complaints- the FAIR mediation framework. Upon completion of the program, delegates will have developed powerful skills and competencies for responding to and resolving complaints.
Unfortunately, in such a high pressured and stressful healthcare environment, it is natural that mistakes will be made and disputes develop. Patients may raise complaints for a number of reasons, ranging from clinical errors to long waiting times, poor communication or failure to fund treatment. Traditional complaints systems within the sector are highly retributive (focused on blame.) Here at TCM, we believe that a non-adversarial (restorative) approach offers a more favorable outcome in many cases.
Our extensive experience in workplace mediation inspired us to develop the course. We know that the process is applicable to a wide range of workplace environments, including the handling of complaints raised by patients. During the program, we deliver the essential skills needed to bring complaints to a constructive resolution, with positive outcomes for all involved.
