Content ArticleThe report from The Leapfrog Group analyses eight high-risk procedures to determine which hospitals and surgeons perform enough of them to minimise the risk of patient harm or death, and whether hospitals actively monitor to assure that each surgery is necessary. The report finds that the vast majority of participating hospitals do not meet The Leapfrog Group’s minimum hospital or surgeon volume standards for safety nor do they have adequate policies in place to monitor for appropriateness. Rural hospitals are particularly challenged in meeting the standards. Leapfrog advises "given the variation in patient outcomes between higher-volume and lower-volume hospitals, the importance of patients using Leapfrog results to select a hospital for these high-risk procedures cannot be overstated."

Content ArticleHuman factors are of pivotal importance to both patient safety and doctors’ wellbeing, says Peter Brennan and Tista Chakravarty-Gannon in this BMJ Opinion article. In this article they highlight what the General Medical Council (GMC) and other organisations are doing to support doctors to deliver good care for their patients through educational and support programmes, including the GMC’s new Professional Behaviours and Patient Safety Programmes (PBPS) being piloted across the UK. These programmes are designed to help improve doctors’ skills and confidence in addressing unprofessional behaviours. These initiatives should reduce medical error, improve patient safety and professional welfare, as well as enhancing team working.

Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Culture
The NHS Staff Survey is one of the largest workforce surveys in the world and has been conducted every year since 2003. It asks NHS staff in England about their experiences of working for their respective NHS organisations. The survey provides essential information to employers and national stakeholders about staff experience across the NHS in England. Participation is mandatory for trusts and voluntary for non-trust organisations (CCGs, CSUs, social enterprises). The survey does not cover primary care staff. The report below provides a concise summary of key national results. Detailed local (organisation-level) results are also available here.- Posted
