Summary
A new best practice guide helping trusts learn more from NHS negligence claims has been issued in the drive for better patient safety.
With the cost of harm for clinical negligence claims from incidents in 2019/20 expected to cost the NHS £8.3 billion, the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme and NHS Resolution have worked together to produce 'Learning from Litigation Claims', offering trust clinicians, managers and legal teams a practical and structured approach to claims learning, and sharing examples of best practice from across England.
The aim is to maximise what can be learned from litigation, for the benefit of patients and to curb escalating costs.
