World Health Organisation (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist:
Adapted for ECT Clinics
Primary Care organisations are encouraged to pragmatically assess
the relevance of the core set of safety checks within the Surgical
Safety Checklist to their areas of practice. If it is established
that the checklist is not relevant, then this should be reflected
in local operational policies and procedures. Therefore, the ECTAS
position is that the checklist is not relevant for use in
ECT. However, this must be reflected in the clinic’s local
policy (as above) and the clinic should ensure that any relevant
core safety checks within the checklist are incorporated into the
patients pre ECT checklist and/or other protocols/
checklists.
Following requests from ECTAS member clinics who would like to use
a version of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, it has been
adapted by the ECTAS Reference Group and can be downloaded
here. |
