    Expanding on his previous commentary 'What does all this safety stuff have to do with me', Dan Cohen, Patient Safety Learning's Trustee and former Chief Medical Officer at DATIX, has written this article for the hub on personal responsibility in patient safe care.

    Hello Claire and thanks for your comment. I have been traveling and had not checked back on the website to see your comment. I have no idea what happened to this chap or, more sadly, to the institution where he works or worked. Self denial is a strong defense mechanism, often manifest in ego-centrics, a tough group to engage with in my view. I am preparing a manuscript that will be posted soon that delves further into the topic of personal responsibility. Cheers Dan

    In this commentary, I reflect on how we may all suffer from some degree of professional complacency. Healthcare professionals do not get up in the morning intending to harm anyone, but normal human liabilities can impair our performance. We may often fail to recognise environmental and situational risks, and, more importantly, to admit to our own personal liabilities and, thus, the risks we bring into the healthcare environment.
