EventuntilThe provision of safe and quality care is the most fundamental principle to consider for patients in perioperative practice. Alongside this commitment, is the safety and welfare of all staff and visitors within the setting. Risk assessment, staffing ratios, competency and skill are crucial to ensuring that the intended outcome for patients is achieved as far as is reasonably practicable. The discussion will outline how this can be achieved utilising the recommendations by the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP). Learning outcomes: Understanding risk and the process of risk assessment in perioperative practice. The components of a safe perioperative environment. How to calculate a safe staffing model for your environment based on the AfPP standard. Register

NHS hospital staff spend countless hours capturing data in electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems. Yet that data remains difficult to access and use to support patient care. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve patient safety, drive efficiencies and save time for frontline staff. I have just published a post about this challenge and Triscribe's solution. I would love to hear any comments or feedback on the topic... How could we use this information better? What are hospitals already doing? Where are the gaps? Thanks- Posted

Community PostI am interested in what colleagues here think about the proposed patient safety specialist role? https://improvement.nhs.uk/resources/introducing-patient-safety-specialists/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-patient-safety-hospitals-mistakes-harm-a9259486.html Can this development make a difference? Or will it lead to safety becoming one person's responsibility and / or more of the same as these responsibilities will be added to list of duties of already busy staff? Can these specialist be a driver for culture change including embedding a just culture and a focus on safety-II and human factors? What support do trusts and specialists need for this to happen? Some interesting thoughts on this here: https://twitter.com/TerryFairbanks/status/1210357924104736768

Definition of "Lessons Learned"

Tagged with:
I've been searching for a definition of "Lessons Learned", to inform some internal discussion and a policy review. However, I cannot seem to find one anywhere - I've tried as much NHSI and old NPSA documentation as I can get my hands on, Googled some Trust policies, and done some other searches. The closest I can find is some wording on Knowledge for Healthcare: This seems to be a start, but not necessarily specific to incidents and learning from investigations. I'm also keen to use wording from an organisation which already carries a bit of weight and gravitas, rather than developing our own, if possible. Is anyone aware of anything I might have missed?- Posted

Creating a space to discuss leadership and safety – how can we maximise this opportunity

My first thought on coming to this community was, is it a bit abstract to be talking about leadership in a sub-community of a patient safety learning platform, when in the real world leadership is part of, or influences so many of the other sub-communities (culture, patient engagement, patient safety learning itself, to name but a few). However, I can definitely see the value in creating a special space to explore and stimulate some cross-fertilisation of ideas and learning on leadership for patient safety. It would be great to get some ideas flowing on how patient safety leaders across all levels of health care could use this community. I’ve found that leadership in the academic literature is sometimes a little vague, it’s common to see “leadership is critical for [X-aspect of] patient safety” written in various ways, but when you try and drill down on concrete examples of what that means it can be frustratingly non-specific. Could we start by stimulating some sharing of tangible real-world examples or vignettes that describe how leadership/leadership development is linked to making care safer or addressing a patient safety-related problem. This may mean infiltrating or drawing on some of the parallel discussions in other sub-forums and seeding the leadership angle into these discussions!- Posted

Community PostI have been thinking recently about the challenges which is posed towards larger trusts with regards to patient safety. Particularly with getting information disseminated to all staff and being reliant on endless emails. I have recently done some work with our Action Card App which has posed its own challenges particularly with physically getting around the Departments, spreading the word, and assisting people on the app itself. What really helped us iare screen savers, twitter and having those key conversations with stakeholders within the trust. I was wondering what everyone elses perspectives were?

NHS Impact resources
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in NHS England
NHS Impact ‘improving patient care together’ is the term NHS England is using for the new single, shared NHS improvement approach. This includes the five components which form the ‘DNA’ of all evidence-based improvement methods, which underpin a systematic approach to continuous improvement: Building a shared purpose and vision. Investing in people and culture. Developing leadership behaviours. Building improvement capability and capacity. Embedding improvement into management systems and processes. When these 5 components are consistently used, systems and organisations create the right conditions for continuous improvement and high performance, responding to today’s challenges, and delivering better care for patients and better outcomes for communities.- Posted

Content ArticleThis is part of our series of Patient Safety Spotlight interviews, where we talk to people working for patient safety about their role and what motivates them. Claire talks to us about her role as a Patient Safety Lead and why she thinks the new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework will make her work more practical and patient-centred. She also describes why she set up the Patient Safety Management Network and highlights why patient safety roles would benefit from more standardisation across trusts.

Content ArticleIn basic terms, a safety management system (SMS) is a formal arrangement for managing, assuring, and improving safety. An SMS is not a single document, it is a framework for managing all risks that arise from running a transport system. It defines roles and responsibilities, sets arrangements for safety mechanisms, involves workers in the process, and ensures continuous improvement. The Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS) introduced the requirement for and content of an SMS. The regulations require most railway operators to maintain an SMS, and hold a safety certificate or authorisation indicating that the SMS has been accepted by the Office of Rail and Road.
