The Children and Young People’s Safety Briefing (CYPSB) has been developed to help improve the information we give to children, young people and their families when they come to hospital so they are better equipped to look after themselves.
What is a Safety Briefing? A safety briefing is made up of a short animation and an accompanying safety card that uses a superhero theme to share the safety messages.
It has been designed to be shown when people are first admitted to hospital.
Working closely with children and young people, the Young Person’s Safety Briefing looks at six simple things that people can do to help them have a safer stay in hospital.
The Children and Young People’s Safety Briefing has been developed by two leading international children’s hospitals, Queensland Children’s Health Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, Australia and Birmingham Children’s Hospital, England, with creative support and development from Haelo, Salford’s innovation and improvement science centre.
The information in the Safety Briefing covers six common issues: - hand hygiene - visitors coming to hospital with illness - extravasion (when tubes for medicine begin to itch or hurt) - medication - feeling in pain - pressure ulcers
