Content ArticleThis is the sixth annual report produced for the Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme, run by the MBRRACE-UK collaboration. The authors analysed 2.3 million pregnancies from 2015-2017 in the UK and Ireland. During that three-year period, 209 women in the UK and Ireland died during their pregnancies or up to six weeks afterwards from pregnancy-related causes. This is equivalent to just over 9 women per 100,000. The leading cause of maternal deaths in the UK is still cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks, heart failure and heart rhythm problems, and there has been no reduction in maternal deaths from heart-related causes for more than 15 years. The full report can be found through the link below, or you can read the lay summary here.

Content ArticleSerious Incidents in health care are adverse events, where the consequences to patients, families and carers, staff or organisations are so significant or the potential for learning is so great, that a heightened level of response is justified. This Framework, set out by NHS England, describes the circumstances in which such a response may be required and the process and procedures for achieving it, to ensure that Serious Incidents are identified correctly, investigated thoroughly and, most importantly, learned from to prevent the likelihood of similar incidents happening again.

Content ArticleAviation underwent a major culture change after the shock of the 1977 Tenerife disaster, which has gradually matured into the successful safety management systems we have today. Has the Hyponatraemia Report in Northern Ireland or the Bawa-Garba case in the UK the potential to be healthcare's turning point and transform our approach to error? What can we learn from aviation to shortcut the learning process? The author of this article is both a doctor and pilot with extensive experience in both industries. Published in Northern Ireland Healthcare Review in 2018.

Choices for the “New Normal” (4 May 2020)
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Blogs
No one can say with certainty what the consequences of this pandemic will be in 6 months, let alone 6 years or 60. Some “new normal” may emerge, in which novel systems and assumptions will replace many others long taken for granted. But at this early stage, it is more honest to frame the new, post–COVID-19 normal not as predictions, but as a series of choices. In this article in JAMA, Donald Berwick proposes six properties of care for durable change: tempo, standards, working conditions, proximity, preparedness, and equity. -
Content ArticleIn this guest blog for the Professional Standards Authority, Peter Walsh, Chief Executive of Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), sums up what progress has been made since the introduction of the organisational and professional duties of candour, but also questions what difference they have made. Peter remains hopeful, that the duty of candour will become much more than just a box-ticking exercise and believes, if we can get it right, it will be the biggest and most overdue advance in patients’ rights and patient safety that we have ever seen in health and social care.
