Content ArticleObstetric incidents can be catastrophic and life-changing, with related claims representing the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts’ (CNST) biggest area of spend. The Maternity Safety Strategy set out the Department of Health and Social Care’s ambition to reward those who have taken action to improve maternity safety supported through the Maternity Incentive Scheme. Year four of the Maternity Incentive Scheme launched on 9 August 2021. The scheme supports the delivery of safer maternity care through an incentive element to trust contributions to the CNST. The scheme, developed in partnership with the national maternity safety champions, Dr Matthew Jolly and Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent OBE, rewards trusts that meet ten safety actions designed to improve the delivery of best practice in maternity and neonatal services. In the fourth year, the scheme will further incentivise the ten maternity safety actions from the previous year with some further refinement.

Community PostThis year's theme for World Patient Safety Day (17 September) is Health Worker Safety: A Priority for Patient Safety. We know that staff safety is intrinsically linked to patient safety but we need your insight to help us understand what matters most when it comes to feeling safe at work. So we're asking you to tell us: What is most needed for health and care staff to feel physically or mentally safe at work? In this short video, Claire Cox (Patient Safety Learning's Associate Director of Patient Safety and a Nurse) shares her top three. What do you think is most needed? Please join the conversation and help us speak up for health worker safety! Nb: You'll need to sign in to the hub to comment (click on the icon in the top right of your screen).

Content ArticleOne of the reasons why patient safety may be put at risk during healthcare interventions is a lack of staff adherence to patient safety guidelines. There could be a relationship between staff’s adherence to patient safety guidelines and their perceived level of reward for their work and/or motivation. This study from Asmoro et al. examined the relationship between reward and adherence to patient safety guidelines, and between motivation and adherence to patient safety guidelines, among nurses working in emergency departments (EDs) in Indonesia. They found that ensuring ED nurses are motivated for their work by offering rewards – such as a decent salary, a supportive workplace environment and career progression opportunities – is important to enhance their adherence to patient safety guidelines.

Content ArticleAnnual NHS Staff Survey results show an average decline in those feeling optimistic about their career within the NHS. One area of concern, in particular, was the amount of NHS workers who felt they were not adequately recognised and rewarded. This poses a threat to the healthcare provider’s People Promise. As part of the NHS’ People Promise, one of the key values include: ‘we are recognised and rewarded. At a time when much of the NHS is suffering from staff shortages, it is vital to find solutions to boost employee morale. Following this report from Each Person, the NHS has highlighted two key areas that need to be addressed to combat staff dissatisfaction: continuing their advocacy for increased investment and support to raise staff numbers; and relieving points of pressure to foster a positive working culture across the organisation. Consequently, NHS trusts have taken positive steps to ensure that their employees feel more appreciated for their hard work through rewards and recognition.
