| Sumario: | Abstract: The aim of the project was to engage clinical staff with site‐specific, targeted education including lightning presentations, using combined information collated from clinical incidents and pharmacists' intervention data. A self‐directed learning presentation titled ‘Reflective Learning on Medication Related Problems (MRPs) at King Edward Memorial Hospital' was disseminated to all clinical staff in October 2015 by email and in‐service presentation on various wards. The presentation featured 10‐year data on pharmacist interventions at King Edward Memorial Hospital, highlighting organisational common MRPs and tips to prevent these errors. The staff members were invited to complete a satisfaction survey. A total of 82 responses were received. Staff appreciated the presentation and agreed that the site‐specific clinical incident data made them more aware of MRPs at a local level. Subsequently, the Medication Safety Review Group, Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee and the Pharmacy initiated a series of lightning presentations, highlighting one MRP in each module. They contained concise, easy to understand, practical information. They focused on: clinical incidents data followed by pharmacist intervention data, the consequence of the MRP, and practical advice to prevent the MRP in future practice. The lightning presentations have received positive staff feedback on the innovative strategy in disseminating information. The presentations have been converted to e‐learning packages on the hospital education hub. The innovative means of addressing MRPs using interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver lightning presentations was well received by the staff members and demonstrated great staff satisfaction by utilising targeted, site‐specific education.
