Normalisation of patient care refers to the process of standardising healthcare practices to ensure consistent, high-quality care for all patients, regardless of their background or condition. This concept is vital in today’s healthcare systems, where variability in care can lead to disparities in outcomes. By normalising care, healthcare providers aim to reduce these disparities, improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery. However, if poor care becomes normalised; i.e., treated as routine, it can have detrimental effects on patients and their outcomes. In this blog, Dawn Stott discusses the importance of consistency in care delivery, why healthcare systems must continue to develop and refine strategies for normalising care, and how she and her colleagues are developing global guidance on securing an airway when delivering anaesthesia. -
