About the project

Communication is an important element for providing safe care. Healthcare professionals need to be able to speak up about their concerns, suggestions and ideas. Unfortunately, they are not always able to speak up and healthcare professionals remain silent. In this PhD project we study inhibiting and motivating factors healthcare professionals perceive during a multidisciplinairy meeting. The aim of this study is to provide insight in the complexity of speaking up behaviour of healthcare professionals.
