Our Structured Judgement Review (SJR) training course is for NHS teams working under the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF). We have designed it for people who want to use SJRs both as a triage tool and as a clear, practical way to learn from patient safety incidents
We will show you how to adapt the traditional SJR method so it fits with PSIRF principles. You will learn how to move from a mortality-focused model to one that supports proportional reviews, better insights and steady improvement.
