Summary
'Second victim' is the term used to refer to healthcare workers who are impacted by patient safety incidents. Whilst patients and families will always be the first priority following safety incidents, the well-being of the staff involved is often overlooked but can leave staff lacking confidence, unable to perform their job, requiring time off or leaving their profession.
