This comprehensive e-learning course will provide you with a full understanding of how to undertake After Action Reviews (AAR). The course has been designed by experienced AAR facilitators and is highly interactive. Focus is on practical and in-depth guidance on how to conduct an effective AAR meeting in a healthcare setting. Materials, content and the Frequently Asked Questions section have also been linked to the current Patient Safety Incident Response Framework.
The course is relevant to those who will be tasked with facilitating After Action Reviews in their organisation. By completing this training, learners will have a full understanding of how to manage the AAR process and lead an AAR meeting.
