    In many professions, specific terms – both old and new – are often established and accepted unquestioningly, from the inside. In some cases, such terms may create and perpetuate inequity and injustice, even when introduced with good intentions. One example is the term ‘second victim’. The term ‘second victim’ was coined by Albert W Wu in his paper ‘Medical error: the second victim’. Wu wrote the following: “although patients are the first and obvious victims of medical mistakes, doctors are wounded by the same errors: they are the second victims”. In his blog, Stephen Shorrick discusses the term second victim, what patients and families think of this term, and proposes that healthcare professionals are perhaps the 'third victims'.

    A brief, heartfelt piece presented purely from the harmed patient's perspective and urging those involved in making decisions about whether or not to investigate to consider the impact of a good investigation on the ability of the harmed patient and their family to heal... Well received on twitter and described by a number of patients as 'you've said what I feel'. A reminder that a crucial purpose of the investigation is to give a harmed patient and their family a full explanation to help them understand, process and share for learning their experience. All necessary to their recovery. All necessary to their own 'safety' following an incident (we know poor responses cause additional suffering to those already harmed). The author also highlighted (via twitter) how much of this blog relates to the needs of staff involved in incidents too...

    Doctors feel that they are increasingly expected to treat patients in an unsafe, unsupportive environment, contributing to a vicious cycle of low morale and poor rates of recruitment and retention. This can and must change. This British Medical Association (BMA) report draws on the experience and expertise of BMA members across all branches of medical practice in the UK. It outlines where change is needed to ensure we safeguard patient care, make the NHS a great place to work and transform services for the better. This report sets out specific recommendations aimed at government and NHS bodies.

    Creating a culture where staff are empowered to speak up is important. Equally important to keep patients safe, is that serious incidents – and the complaints that often follow them – are treated as an opportunity for learning.  NHS organisations and their staff must take accountability for making improvements to patient safety. But accountability has too often been taken to mean ‘blame’. If staff fear being blamed, it is much harder to understand what went wrong, why, and how to reduce the chances it will happen again.  This blog by Kate Eisenstein, Assistant Director of Insight and Public Affairs at the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, discusses the importance of learning from mistakes and creating a culture of positive accountability.
