This session outlines the SAFEMEDIC project (Personal Safety of Medical Personnel in Difficult Professional Situations) which aims to improve the workplace safety of healthcare professionals by increasing their skills and competences in dealing with difficult situations. To achieve this the project consortium will design and develop a complex multi-stakeholder, inter-disciplinary course for healthcare students, predominantly focused at paramedics and nurses.
