James Titcombe: The complexity of failure (2 October 2018)
PatientSafetyLearning Team posted an article in Culture
When James Titcombe is hit by the biggest tragedy imaginable to any parent, he and his wife need to confront a tragedy on a bigger scale still: the structural learning disabilities of the organisation that robbed them of their child. The ‘complexity of failure’ video documents the struggle to get the largest employer of the land to account for what was lost. Behind the bureaucracy and posturing, the lies and denials, it discovers a humanity and a richly facetted suffering by many others. It drives a determined James Titcombe to change how we learn from failure forever.- Posted
