Yet providing what is set out in the Duty of Candour to harmed patients has not been framed as providing care to make sick or injured people better and/or to minimise their pain and suffering." In this blog, Jo Hughes explains why we need to reframe the Duty of Candour and explores what needs to change.

Content ArticleThe approach to resolution of adverse events in hospital and healthcare organisations has remained subpar for decades and open and honest communication are often compromised in favor of litigation. Models like CANDOR have been recognised as essential to transparency, person-centeredness, and healthcare quality and safety. The impactful implementation of CANDOR into organisational culture requires commitment, prioritization, involvement from all, and event analysis for continuous improvement. This is a recording of the Patient Safety Movement webinar 'Improving patient safety using CANDOR' which took place 28 January 2021.
