Learning and education modules on understanding bias in health care

The learning and education videos below were developed for Wiki Haumaru Tūroro | Patient Safety Week 2019. 

You can view the videos below but if you need a certificate issued for evidence of professional development, you will need to complete the modules via LearnOnline (the Ministry of Health's education and learning platform) and not via this webpage. Access the modules on LearnOnline. Instructions and frequently asked questions about LearnOnline  can be downloaded here (140KB, pdf).

You can also download the accompanying quiz and answers at the bottom of this page.
