Love this. Thanks Jen

@Samantha Does this automatically get posted to the community for discussion? 

Excellent blog, thanks Adam. You absolutely nail it in that it’s not just about knowledge and skills but behaviours and values. @Lesley W and Lubna and I have been working with colleagues at HEE to try and design this into their competency framework - not just for specialist roles in patient safety but for all leaders. To be honest, we’re not getting much traction. It seems to be more about updating the curriculum. Any suggestions as to how to create more influence? 

I found this related resource that might be helpful:

@Clive Flashman I so agree. I also remember this from NPSA days and am absolutely shocked that reports of theatre fires are still increasing. 

Well done @Kathy Nabbie for sharing your insights, really helpful resources and the disarming video. 

Fabulous reflective piece, thanks Lorri.

Brilliant artcle but painful to read. I can see why the nurse wants to remain anonymous. The nurse derserves praise for finding the right way to ensure the patient was safe but its clearly tough on the front line. And good on the surgeon for listening and taking action too.

I wonder what other nurses would have done?

Briilliant and challenging, thanks Martin.

How many investigations would be able to meet this criteria: 'How do I know that I have investigated an incident to allow prevention to occur? Revisit the scenario and see if it could occur again.?'

I wonder how much of this insight will be reflected in the new SI framework that is due to be published by NHSI  'soon.'

Looking forward to the next blog!

@Claire Cox I saw that you've tweeted Martin's blog for wider covergae. Thx

“People shouldn’t need courage to come to work." And when people make courageous decisions for safe care, they are too often not applauded and supported but vilified. Ghastly as when that happend, people just keep their heads down. We can't learn and imporve in that kind of environment.

We're going to be publishing some blogs about the courage that staff have had to show.  Sadly we think many of these will have to be anoymous. Do you have a story to tell? Please contact me  @HelenH or Claire at @Claire Cox

And great to be able to share for World Sepsis Day too. Thanks @Ron Daniels

Judy, an excellent article, thank you. 

A lot of guidance on formal invetstigations in healthcare but not AARs. Such a  missed opportunity.

Do you think healthcare organisations will share their AARs? It would be fantastic to learn and share from these.

Aine, i hope you find this useful

Wow, impresive work, Luke. Thank you so much for sharing the journey and the learning on the development of the App. It seems that core to this is clinical leadreship (yours and the team) and partnershop with BD (copying to @Simon Noble-Clarke )and others - and the alignment between national initatives and local implementation.

We will be interested in how this gets taken further and the models for implementation and spread. How might we help? You might be intersted in this @JULES STORR

We're meeting with NHSX soon and this sounds exactly the sort of innovation that adds value and for safer care.

Great that you've had such recognition. Have you thought of putting in for one of our awards? @Claire Cox will send you details of these for sure!

Tricky question, now. If you had to quantify evidence of impact, patient safety, staff engagment, finnacial etc, what would you say?

Thanks again, Luke

Hi Danielle,

Thanks for your post, really interesting and congratulations on the initiative. It's clearly been a huge effort and so much in your personal time too.

We know that effective team work and communication are so important to patient safety but it's always a challenge to be able to demonstrate impact on clinical care. I wonder what research has been doen on this area?

It would be great to capture other newsletters too - to similarly inform, inspire and improve practice. What do others think? And do share more!

Thanks again Danielle and for taking the time to share with us.

@Sam just a thoughts - does this conversation automatically get picked up in the community discussion?

@Margot Can we tweet about this and link people into th econversation?

Hi Tony, that's a really good and helpful blog, thank you.  I particularly liked the drop down format and clear advice. @Tony Glazier

I wonder whether other professional regulators have similar resources to support their registrants and how to report concerns? Do you know, Sam or Claire? @Claire Cox @Sam
