Towards EVERY PATIENT SAFE – what difference do patients make?
Patient Safety Learning posted a calendar event in Community Calendar

Staff safety in the mental healthcare setting
Sarahjane Jones posted an article in Staff safety
Our recent observational study, published in the Health Informatics Journal, focussed on staff safety in the mental healthcare setting. We worked with a mental healthcare provider to extract and analyse incidents of adverse events. In one aspect of the work, we looked specifically at the incidents that were reported that had recorded a member of staff as a ‘victim’ of the adverse event. From the 1 September 2014 to the 31 March 2017, 19,693 members of staff were reported as victims across 10,119 adverse events. For context, this was the equivalent of around 25 incidents per week, but it i -

ThinkSAFE - Question List & Notes sheet
Claire Cox posted an article in Keeping patients safe
People can find it helpful to write down questions they have for healthcare professionals. This helps us to remember important things that we can easily forget to ask about when in hospital or once in a consultation with a doctor for example. If you don't wish or need to use the full Logbook you may still find the ThinkSAFE Question List useful when visiting your GP, hospital or other healthcare professional. The Question & Notes sheet has been designed to be printed double sided and then folded to create a pocket-sized document. -

Content ArticleThe challenge Some patients leaving hospital need advice and support to help them take their medicines correctly and safely. Around 60 per cent of patients have three or more changes made to their medicines during their stay in hospital, and only 10 per cent of older patients are discharged with the same medication they were taking before they went into hospital. In some cases, errors or unintentional changes to a patient’s medication can occur because of miscommunication. This can lead to patients becoming unwell and being readmitted to hospital, causing unnecessary distress to the

Content ArticlePicker Institute Europe reviewed the quality of patient engagement in primary care, how to measure it, and developments in patient involvement in primary care. Part of this paper considered three examples of notable practice in involving patients in the development of their general practice services. These were not selected because they were ‘typical’ but because they demonstrated, in some depth, a variety of approaches to patient involvement. The first example looked at two health centres with patient forums. One forum was more formal, with designated officers and control of the ag

It is mindful of the criticisms of approaches to patient engagement in patient safety and is a first step towards adopting a theoretical approach to this context.

The framework describes three levels of patient engagement in patient safety across three levels of the NHS healthcare system. It also prese
