November 14th, 2016: Students from the School of Public Health & Health Sciences at Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have been given a firsthand insight into the functioning of patient safety procedures during a recent trip to Belhoul Specialty Hospital in Dubai.
Accompanied by Assistant Professor, Dr. Ahmad Okasha, the group of senior students from the Bachelor of Science in Health Organization Management undertook the visit as part of their course in Risk Assessment and Patient Safety. The trip sought to develop the students’ practical understanding of patient hazards, their mitigation, and the methods that hospitals adopt to support patient care and well-being throughout their stay.
During the fieldtrip the students visited the hospital’s laboratory, intensive care unit and radiology department. They met a wide range of hospital officials from the CEO, Hospital Operational Manager and Assistant Operational Manager, to the Hospital Safety Officer.
