    The Buurtzorg model of care, developed by a social enterprise in the Netherlands in 2006, involves small teams of nursing staff providing a range of personal, social and clinical care to people in their own homes in a particular neighbourhood. There’s an emphasis on one or two staff working with each individual and their informal carers to access all the resources available in their social networks and neighbourhood to support them to be more independent. The nursing teams have a flat management structure, working in ‘non-hierarchical self-managed' teams. This means they make all the clinical and operational decisions themselves. They can access support from a coach, whose focus is on enabling the team to learn to work constructively together, and a central back office.

    Mark Stuart spent five days in agony and died following a catalogue of failings by NHS staff. His parents say they have been battling for answers for four years.  They tell their story to BBC News.

    This report describes the lack of clear roles, responsibilities and accountability for workforce planning and supply in England. In reality, this means that the health and care workforce is not growing in line with increasing population need for health and care services and there are large numbers of vacant posts throughout the system. This impacts upon patient safety and outcomes, and leads to a challenging working environment for staff. The RCN make the case for this to be resolved through legislation, alongside additional investment in the nursing workforce and a national health and care workforce strategy for England. The RCN is clear, it is no longer the time to be discussing whether legislation is needed, instead, we should also be focussed on how we go about securing these necessary changes in law.

    What happens if a surgeon accidentally drops an instrument on the floor, picks it up and reuses, without it going through a steriliser? Should this be allowed to happen? Well it did!

    In this paper published in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality, Nadzam discusses why effective communication is critical during the countless interactions that occur among healthcare workers on a daily basis.

    This is my story of how one bad experience can lead to another. We talk a lot about patients and their safety (quite rightly so) but very rarely do we hear about the healthcare professional who is going through turmoil and their mental health. This is my story.

    Sam Goodhand is a Anaesthetic Registrar who I had the great pleasure in working with in Brighton University Hospitals NHS Trust. He produced these action/prompt cards for health professionals who attend and take part in RSI's. These are great to attach to your ID badge. This ensures you always have one at hand in those tricky situations.

    A report from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) calls for urgent investment in District Nursing, as new figures show the number of District Nurses working in the NHS has dropped by almost 43 percent in England alone in the last ten years.

    Pete Smith is nothing without the energy and commitment of the amazing people who surround him. Increasing the technical skill of a healthcare clinician makes for incremental change. Improve the culture within which they work, think and communicate and suddenly quantum change is possible. Two perioperative nurses from a regional hospital in Victoria, Australia, innovated a simple, elegant solution to the problem of noise and distraction in the operating room. Pete Smith was one of them.

    I lead a team of multidisciplinary researchers who explore the power of routinely collected data for improving our understanding of patient safety. Our hope is that this insight will be translated into improvements in patient care. On this World Mental Health Day, there is an opportunity to reflect on the implications of harm to staff who deliver care to some of the most vulnerable patients in any healthcare system and what we might do to better protect them from harm. We recently published a study that focussed on staff safety in the mental healthcare setting and I'd like to discuss some of the findings in this blog.

    In January 2017, I read an article in Outpatient Surgery involving an elderly patient in the US who suffered multiple burns following the use of chlorohexidine bottled alcoholic prep. The Oregon woman filed a million-dollar lawsuit against the Oregon Outpatient Surgery Center in Tigard, Ore., saying she suffered severe burns when her face caught on fire during an electrocautery procedure. Having read this tragic story and escalated it to my theatre manager and colleagues, I decided to design and evaluate a FRAS (Fire Risk Assessment Score) and use it as part of the WHO Surgical Checklist at "time out" to raise awareness of fires in operating theatres.

    "It’s time to halt, take a break, and redraw the relationship between patient care and self-care. Self-care isn’t an optional luxury. It must sit at the heart of what we do, to ensure our teams can continue to rise to the challenges of working in the 21st century NHS, to give our patients the best of both ourselves, and the organisation so many of us are proud to be a part of."
