Restorative Practices in Healthcare.

View on YouTube.

In healthcare systems safety needs to be conceived in a relational as well as a regulatory framework, with resilience being understood as the interplay between both elements. This presentation will critically appraise how harm is understood and responded to within the New Zealand health system and the potential contribution of restorative responses. A major and internationally unprecedented project, that employed a restorative approach to address the harm caused to patients and professionals by the use of surgical mesh in New Zealand (NZ), is used to illustrate the case for change.
