    This blog captures a recent discussion at a Patient Safety Management Network (PSMN) meeting, where members of the network raised a number of important questions and issues relating to the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF). PSIRF is currently being rolled out across all NHS trusts in England and takes a new approach to investigating patient safety incidents.

    The Care Quality Commission's chief executive Ian Trenholm has said he is sceptical about the need to appoint an NHS patient safety commissioner, one of the key recommendations of the recently published Cumberlege review. In a wide-ranging interview with HSJ, Mr Trenholm also revealed that he wants the Care Quality Commission to review the collaboration of every health system in England. Mr Trenholm told HSJ he is “not sure” a patient safety commissioner was needed and that it would need to perform a “role that was different from what’s already in place” for it to add value. He said: “If you look at the work we’re doing on patient safety, the work that HSIB are doing on patient safety, and then we’ve got people within the NHS itself doing work on patient safety, I think there are enough people playing. The question is, are we all working together as effectively as we possibly could be. “If another player helps that work [then] great, but I’m not sure that’s something that is necessary.” Read full story (paywalled) Source: HSJ, 24 August 2020

    More than 20 leading NHS doctors and experts back Baby Lifeline demand for safety training for maternity staff to cut £7m a day negligence costs The Independent’s maternity safety campaign goes to Downing Street today as senior figures from across the health service deliver a letter demanding action from prime minister Boris Johnson. Charity Baby Lifeline will be joined by bereaved families, Royal Colleges and senior midwives and doctors in Downing Street to hand in a letter calling on the government to reinstate a national fund for maternity safety training. Baby Lifeline, which has also launched an online petition today, said the government needed to find £19m to support training of both midwives and doctors to prevent deaths and brain damage, which can cost the NHS millions of pounds for a single case. The letter to Mr Johnson has also been signed by Dr Bill Kirkup, who led the investigation into baby deaths at the Morecambe Bay NHS trust and is investigating poor care at the East Kent Hospitals University Trust. He said: “There have been real improvements in maternity services, but as recent events in Kent and Shropshire have shown only too clearly, much more remains to be done. The Maternity Safety Training Fund is badly needed.” Sir Robert Francis QC, Chairman of the public inquiry into poor care at Stafford Hospital, who also signed, said: “The cost in lost and broken lives, not to mention the unsustainable financial burden and the distress of staff caused by these avoidable mistakes, is indefensible.” Other signatories included former health secretary Jeremy Hunt, the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and a number of senior maternity figures, charities and clinical associations.

    This study in the Journal of Patient Safety examined how hospitals outside mandatory 'never event' regulations identify, register, and manage 'never events', and whether practices are associated with hospital size. In Switzerland, there is no mandatory reporting of 'never events' and little is known about how hospitals in countries without 'never event' policies deal with these incidents in terms of registration and analyses. The study found that many Swiss hospitals do not have valid data on the occurrence of “never events” available, and do not have reliable processes installed for the registration and examination of these events. Surprisingly, larger hospitals do not seem to be better prepared for “never events” management.

    This patient-centred report from the Regulatory Horizons Council discusses a route to more effective safety assurance through mechanisms that consider the whole product lifecycle, how adverse events are detected or a long time after use of the device and how to trace and recall patients when needed. In addition, this report also considers a number of ways in which use of data and technology can be smarter and to join up digital systems.

    Many surgeons prefer to perform total knee replacement surgery with the aid of a tourniquet. A tourniquet is an occlusive device that restricts distal blood flow to help create a bloodless field during the procedure. This article considers the results of a review that compared knee replacement with use of a tourniquet versus without use of a tourniquet and non‐randomised studies with more than 1000 participants. It highlights the risks of complications such as blood clots and infections associated with this, and indicates that changing surgical practice to avoid using tourniquets could avoid nearly 2,000 serious complications in the UK each year.

    This article examines the challenges in regulating patient safety during hospital discharges in England through the lens of liminality. In addition, this article proposes that by positioning the new role of Patient Safety Commissioner (PSC) as that of a ‘Representative of Order’, it could be a means by which this poorly regulated space could be navigated more successfully.

    The present research conducted a prospective observational study in 21 UK critical care units (CCU's) from 5-18 November 2012 with the aim to describe clinical pharmacist interventions. Data was collected via a web portal where specialist critical care pharmacists could make their reports, with each intervention classified as medication error, optimization or consult. A total of 20, 517 prescriptions were reviewed with 3294 interventions recorded during the weekdays. Results demonstrated that both medication error resolution and pharmacist-led optimisation rates were substantial.

    This article by Robin Aldwinckle discusses the case study of a 61-year-old male patient with severe knee osteoarthritis and hypertension who was admitted for surgery under subarachnoid regional anesthesia. However at the end of the procedure, the patient remained unresponsive and was subsequently diagnosed with Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST). Whilst the patient recovered, this case highlights a lack of communication between the operating room team members concerning the safe dosing of local anesthetics and that the correct diagnosis and treatment of LAST in the operating room is critically important.
