A Just Culture guide - NHS Improvement (last updated 14 December 2018)

Summary

The Just Culture Guide from NHS Improvement supports a conversation between managers about whether a staff member involved in a patient safety incident requires specific individual support or intervention to work safely. It asks a series of questions that help clarify whether there truly is something specific about an individual that needs support or management versus whether the issue is wider, in which case singling out the individual is often unfair and counter-productive. It helps reduce the role of unconscious bias when making decisions and will help ensure all individuals are consistently treated equally and fairly no matter what their staff group, profession or background.
