    The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have published the first National patient safety syllabus that will underpin the development of curricula for all NHS staff as part of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy: https://www.pslhub.org/learn/professionalising-patient-safety/training/staff-clinical/national-patient-safety-syllabus-open-for-comment-r1399/ Via the above link you can access a ‘key points’ document which provides some of the context for the syllabus and answers to some frequently asked questions. AOMRC are inviting key stakeholders to review this iteration of the syllabus (1.0) and provide feedback via completing the online survey or e-mailing Rose Jarvis before 28 February 2020. I would be interested to hear people's thoughts and feedback and any comments which people are happy to share which they've submitted via the online survey

    I am interested in what colleagues here think about the proposed patient safety specialist role? https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/introducing-patient-safety-specialists/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-patient-safety-hospitals-mistakes-harm-a9259486.html Can this development make a difference? Or will it lead to safety becoming one person's responsibility and / or more of the same as these responsibilities will be added to list of duties of already busy staff? Can these specialist be a driver for culture change including embedding a just culture and a focus on safety-II and human factors? What support do trusts and specialists need for this to happen? Some interesting thoughts on this here: https://twitter.com/TerryFairbanks/status/1210357924104736768

    In a new report analysing healthcare complaint investigations, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) have set out the need for the NHS to do more to accept accountability and learn from mistakes in cases of avoidable harm. This blog sets out Patient Safety Learning’s reflections on this report.

    There have been significant developments in patient safety over the last decade. But there is a concerning disconnect between increasing activity and progress made to embed a just and learning culture across the NHS. Recognising the challenging operational context for the NHS, this report from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) draws on findings from their investigations. It asks what more must be done to close the gap between ambitious patient safety objectives and the reality of frontline practice. PHSO identified 22 NHS complaint investigations closed over the past three years where they found a death was – more likely that not – avoidable. It analysed these cases for common themes and conducted in-depth interviews with the families involved.

    This mixed-methods study in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare examined how health staff in Indonesian hospitals perceived open disclosure of patient safety incidents (PSIs). The authors surveyed 262 health workers and interviewed 12 health workers. In the quantitative phase they found a good level of open disclosure practice, a positive attitude toward open disclosure and good disclosure according to the level of harm. However, in the qualitative phase they found that most participants were confused about the difference between incident reporting and incident disclosure. The authors concluded that a robust open disclosure system in hospitals could address several issues such as lack of knowledge, lack of policy support, lack of training and lack of policy. They also suggest that the government should develop supportive policies at the national level and organise initiatives at the hospital level in order to limit the negative implications of disclosing situations.

    There are a number of circumstances that compromise a clinician’s ability to provide safe care, such as unfollowable policies, malfunctioning equipment, or a culture of blame when something goes wrong. In some cases, these system-based factors force clinicians to step outside of the standard of care. Panelists will discuss how to apply the Just Culture framework to inform improvements when the standard of care is not followed and will describe the data that can identify system failures before harm occurs.

    This study presents the findings of ‘The concept of seriousness in fitness to practise’ project commissioned by the General Dental Council (GDC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The project took place between December 2019 and September 2021 and investigated how seriousness in Fitness to Practise (FtP) cases is understood and applied by health professions regulators. The research aimed to: develop an understanding of how the concept of seriousness in relation to misconduct is defined and applied by professional regulators, and to identify the considerations that influence that application. achieve a clearer understanding of the similarities and differences in approaches across regulation and reasons for these. describe the relationship between professional misconduct, enforcement actions and the statutory objectives of healthcare regulation.

    In this blog, nurse Carol Menashy describes her experience making an error in theatre fifteen years ago, and the personal blame she faced in the way the incident was dealt with at the time. She talks about how a SEIPS (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) framework can transform how adverse incidents are dealt with, allowing healthcare teams to learn together and use incidents to help make positive changes towards patient safety. She describes the progress that has been made towards organisational accountability and systems thinking over the past fifteen years, and talks about the importance of staff support to allow for healing from adverse events.

    A restorative just culture has become a core aspiration for many organisations in healthcare and elsewhere. Whereas ‘just culture’ is the topic of some residual conceptual debate (e.g. retributive policies organised around rules, violations and consequences are ‘sold’ as just culture), the evidence base on, and business case for, restorative practice has been growing and is generating increasing, global interest. In the wake of an incident, restorative practices ask who are impacted, what their needs are and whose obligation it is to meet those needs. Restorative practices aim to involve participants from the entire community in the resolution and repair of harms. This book from Sidney Dekker, Amanda Oates and Joseph Rafferty offers organisation leaders and stakeholders a practical guide to the experiences of implementing and evaluating restorative practices and creating a sustainable just, restorative culture. It contains the perspectives from leaders, theoreticians, regulators, employees and patient representatives.

    Krista Haugen is National Director of Patient Safety for US-based emergency and patient relocation services provider Global Medical Response. In this interview, she describes how her 25-year career as an emergency medicine nurse has influenced her approach to safety and patient care. She discusses her personal experience of being involved in an accident as an air-ambulance flight nurse, and how this caused her to look at safety and risk management from a systems perspective, focussing on building a just culture where safety is optimised through organisational reflection and learning.

    One box of chemicals mistaken for another. Ingredients intended to be life-sustaining are instead life-taking. Families in shock, healthcare providers reeling and fingers starting to point. A large healthcare system’s reputation hangs in the balance while decisions need to be made, quickly. More questions than answers. People have to be held accountable – does this mean they get fired? Should the media and therefore the public be informed? What are family members and the providers involved feeling? When the dust settles, will remaining patients be more safe or less safe? In this provocative true story of tragedy, the authors recount the journey travelled and what was learned by, at the time, Canada’s largest fully integrated health region. They weave this story together with the theory about why things fall apart and how to put them back together again. Building on the writings and wisdom of James Reason and other experts, the book explores new ways of thinking about Just Culture, and what this would mean for patients and family members, in addition to healthcare providers. With afterwords by two of the major players in this story, the authors make a compelling case that Just Culture is as much about fairness and healing as it is about supporting a safety culture.

    "Shaming and punishing healthcare workers when an incident occurs sets a dangerous precedent for the industry. This will lead to a culture where healthcare workers avoid reporting near misses or errors for fear of repercussions, allowing process inefficiencies and systemic problems to occur." In this letter, Michael Ramsay, CEO of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, highlights the negative ways in which criminalising healthcare workers who make mistakes will affect patient safety. He refers to the case of RaDonda Vaught, a nurse who was convicted of criminally negligent manslaughter in March 2022 for a medication error made while working at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.

    Repeated culture of safety surveys of the nursing staff at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s main campus demonstrated lagging scores in the domain of nonpunitive responses to error. The hospital had tried for many years to address the problem using a variety of strategies, including small group training sessions on just culture for staff and leaders, but had met with limited success. Finally, in 2015, it committed to trying something genuinely different—even perhaps disruptive—that might actually shift the stagnant metrics. Their novel, multifaceted programme, implemented over a two-year period, yielded a 13% increase in staff rating scores that the hospital has been able to sustain over the subsequent two-year period.  The design and rollout of our program was neither simple nor smooth, but valuable lessons were learned about realistic, operational implementation of principles of psychological safety in a large and complex clinical organisation. In this paper, Neiswender et al. describe the programme and the lessons learned in the journey from idea inception to post-implementation.

    Published on 19 October 2022, the report of the investigation into maternity and neonatal services at East Kent Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust revealed a series of serious patient safety failings between 2009 and 2020, which resulted in avoidable harm to patients and deaths. The investigation found that if nationally recognised standards had been followed, the outcome could have been different in 97 of the 202 cases reviewed. In this article, Patient Safety Learning analyses the findings of this report from a broad patient safety perspective, focusing on five key themes that are consistent with many other serious patient safety inquiries and reports in recent years. It sets these in their wider context and highlights the need for a fundamental transformation in our approach to patient safety if similar scandals are to be prevented in the future.

In this publication, NHS England collates insights from focus groups held with NHS organisations that are rated by the Care Quality Commission as outstanding or good for its ‘Safe’ assessment domain. The insights reflect what they have done to support a patient safety culture within their organisations.
