Welcome to the hub.
A platform to share learning for patient safety.

An error trap is a situation that could lead into avoidable harm if not mitigated. Error traps can be found throughout health and social care in medicines, equipment and devices, in documentation, and in many other areas we see every day while going about our daily jobs in health and social care.

We want to raise awareness of these error traps on the hub but more importantly we want to hear your suggestions of what needs to be done to prevent them and examples of where action has been take and worked. View our new error trap gallery on the hub and share your examples.
