This session provides a practical example of how to apply prospective risk assessment to general practice. Using an example of setting up a nurse-led clinic in a practice, it illustrates how prospective risk assessment can identify and mitigate risks before they lead to harm. This session was reviewed by Suchita Shah and last updated in March 2015.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe how to apply prospective risk assessment tools in your practice
  • Identify key patient safety risks in supplementary prescribing
  • Apply a risk matrix to quantify patient safety risks

Imagine you are setting up a nurse-led clinic in your practice for managing patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The nurses who will be running the clinic have been trained to prescribe COPD medications (through a scheme known as supplementary prescribing).
