    This report by The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust identifies successes and areas for improvement in the Trust's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic resulted in rapid and large-scale changes to ways of working and this report recognises that staff were largely responsive and adaptable to these changes in challenging circumstances. The report looks at learning and recommendations from: the Duty of Candour exercise carried out for patients who contracted COVID-19 in hospital the Trust's clinical teams.

    This article published in Patient Safety discusses the role of patients and families in supporting a culture of safety. It looks at the concept of 'preoccupation with failure', a feature of high reliability organisations (HROs) and examines how patients can contribute to safety by being engaged in this process. The authors discuss a case study in which a patient contributes to safety improvements by sharing specific concerns. They draw out the importance of encouraging and empowering patients and their families to raise issues.

    This new video by the Health Quality & Safety Commission New Zealand features consumers, clinicians and researchers talking about the benefits of following a restorative approach after a harmful event. It describes restorative practice and hohou te rongopai (peace-making from a te ao Māori world view) which both provide a response that recognises people are hurt and their relationships affected by harm in healthcare.

    Patient safety is fundamental to the delivery and outcomes of effective health care. But what happens when things go wrong? What can we learn from the data and how does nursing ensure effective incident reporting takes place to protect patients and staff? Chair of Patient Safety Learning and Datix expert Jonathan Hazan joins us to discuss how data is key to patient safety and the importance of a just culture in health care. Nursing Matters is presented by PNC Chair Rachel Hollis and PNC member Alison Leary.

    On 2 September 2006, all 14 crew of a UK Royal Air Force (RAF) ‘spy plane’ Nimrod XV230 were lost following a catastrophic mid-air fire. The aircraft was on a routine mission when a leak of aviation fuel, shortly after air-to-air refuelling, came into contact with a source of ignition. The fire was not accessible, not able to be remotely suppressed, and the incident was not survivable. ‘The Nimrod Review’, led by The Hon. Mr Justice Haddon-Cave, is a model investigation, and should be required reading for executives and leaders in all industries. The Review takes the aircraft fire as its starting point, but casts its net far and wide through the organisation, as well as considering relevant events in other industries. This Nimrod XV230 tragedy is so rich in lessons, Martin Anderson, Chartered Human Factors Professional, shares on his website a series of articles about the Nimrod XV230.

    In most cases pregnancy and birth are a positive and safe experience for women and their families. This is the outcome that everyone working in maternity services wants every time, for every woman. But when things go wrong, we need to understand what happened, and whether the outcome could have been different. The death or injury of a new baby or mother is devastating and something that everyone working in the health and care system has a responsibility to do all they can to prevent. Following the publication of ‘Getting safer faster’ the Care Quality Commission (CQC) launched a programme of risk-based, focused maternity safety inspections involving a more focused in-depth assessment of relational elements such as teamworking and culture, staff and patient experience. Building on our previous calls for action, the CQC also sought to further explore the barriers that prevent some services from providing consistently good, safe care and to better understand the disparities in outcomes that exist for women and babies from Black and minority ethnic groups. This report presents the key themes from nine of those inspections alongside insight gathered from direct engagement with organisations representing women using maternity services and their families, including Five X More and local Maternity Voices Partnerships.

    It's that time again. 'Speak Up Month' in the NHS. In this blog, I discuss the definition of 'whistelblowing' and why this is important. I believe that although the Francis Report has stimulated some positive changes, the only way to successfully move forward on this is to celebrate and promote genuine whistleblowers. This includes using the word 'whistleblowing', not a euphemism. It also needs us to involve everyone, including patients, in the changes. "Whistleblowing isn’t a problem to be solved or managed, it’s an opportunity to learn and improve. The more we move away for labelling and stereotyping the more we will learn. Regardless of our position, role or perceived status, we all need to address this much more openly and explicitly, in a spirit of truth and reconciliation." What is whistleblowing? "In the UK, NHS bodies have been guilty of muddying the waters. Sometimes implying that whistleblowers are people who fail to use the proper channels, or are troublemakers, especially when they go outside their organisation with their concerns. In fact, the Public Interest Disclosure Act makes no distinction between ‘internal’ and ‘external’ whistle-blowers..."

    Although many initiatives have been implemented and great strides have been achieved in improving patient safety and reducing preventable medical errors, progress towards achieving "zero" avoidable harm continues to be slow. This video presentation will address common medical errors, their recognition, potential for harm and the psychological and financial costs. The concepts of human factors, system design and the high reliability organisation will be reviewed. New approaches in reducing harm and restoring trust will be described along with the opportunity for physician leadership.

    The precautionary principle is important in high risk, high harm, safety critical work. Risks to workers, customers, or service users are substantial, and so the precautionary principle in which precautions are taken until safety is proven, often apply. However, in healthcare it’s different. Healthcare takes the approach that the status quo applies until something is proven dangerous and harmful. The burden of proof is often high and often falls to the workforce to “prove.”  Alison Leary, Professor of healthcare and workforce modelling at London South Bank University, in this BMJ article discusses the reasons healthcare fails to heed the precautionary principle and why potentially the cost of doing so is high and ultimately catastrophic.

    The Coroners and Justice Act allows coroners in England or Wales to issue reports after inquest, if they believe that action should be taken to prevent a future death. Coroners are under a statutory duty to issue a Prevention of Future Death (PFD) report to persons or organisations that they believe have the power to act. Cumulatively, these reports may contain useful intelligence for patient safety.

    There is widespread consensus that learning is crucial for the performance of health systems and the achievement of broader health goals. However, this consensus is not matched by shared knowledge and understanding of how health systems learn, or of how to improve health systems learning across different contexts.  The report is aimed at an audience of diverse stakeholders invested in strengthening health systems, and aims to achieve two things. First, to move towards a shared language and frameworks to discuss the problems and solutions of learning, as they apply to health systems. Second, the report seeks to advance action on learning – by providing stakeholders with clarity on steps that they can undertake to advance learning for health systems. This report is intended to be a starting point for gaining a shared understanding of learning health systems as an actionable agenda. The hope is that it will spur useful conversations and fuel the movement for better informed, more analytical and more self-reliant health systems – especially in the context of low- and middle-income countries.

    A stronger safety climate in nursing homes may reduce avoidable adverse events. Yet efforts to strengthen safety climate may fail if nursing homes are not ready to change. To inform improvement efforts, Quach et al. examined the link between organisational readiness to change and safety climate. They found that organisational readiness to change predicted safety climate. Safety climate initiatives that address readiness to change among frontline staff and managers may be more likely to succeed and eventually increase resident safety.

    Working together and maximising the benefits of intelligent technology can have a truly transformative impact on clinical negligence claims, writes Molly Kent, a patient safety specialist at Radar Healthcare, in this HSJ article. Claims essentially arise out of dissatisfaction, usually with a process, service or poor patient journey. Each claim represents an individual’s story – no two cases will be identical, just as no two patients are identical. Molly argues, however, that it’s when we bring the information from claims together that we can truly learn. Rather than looking at each case in its own silo, we should be building the big picture, and considering things like systems of internal control, human factors, communications, audit and education.

    The national Perinatal Mortality Review Tool (PMRT) was developed with clinicians and bereaved parents in 2017 and launched in England, Wales and Scotland in early 2018; it was subsequently adopted in Northern Ireland in autumn 2019. The aim of the PMRT programme is introduce the PMRT to support standardised perinatal mortality reviews across NHS maternity and neonatal units Unlike other review or investigation processes, the PMRT makes it possible to review every baby death, after 22 weeks’ gestation, and not just a subset of deaths. This report presents data from the 3,693 reviews which were completed between March 2019 and February 2020.

    A new best practice guide helping trusts learn more from NHS negligence claims has been issued in the drive for better patient safety. With the cost of harm for clinical negligence claims from incidents in 2019/20 expected to cost the NHS £8.3 billion, the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme and NHS Resolution have worked together to produce 'Learning from Litigation Claims', offering trust clinicians, managers and legal teams a practical and structured approach to claims learning, and sharing examples of best practice from across England. The aim is to maximise what can be learned from litigation, for the benefit of patients and to curb escalating costs.
