How can After Action Review (AAR) improve patient safety?
Judy Walker posted an article in Good practice
The NHS Long Term Plan highlighted several safety issues that need to be addressed: the fear of blame and retribution which curtails reporting and learning, lack of staff understanding of patient safety matters and workforce issues. This short article summarises what I have learnt about how After Action Review (AAR) can directly address the first two of these and indirectly impact on the third.- Posted

Content ArticlePolicy to date has mostly focused on the role of 'whistleblowers' in raising concerns about quality and safety of patient care in healthcare settings. However, most opportunities for personnel to identify and act on these concerns are likely to occur much further upstream, in the day-to-day mundane interactions of everyday work. Using qualitative data from over 900 hours of ethnographic observation and 98 interviews across 19 English intensive care units (ICUs), Tarrant et al., in a paper published in Social Science & Medicine, studied how personnel gave voice to concerns about patient safety or poor practice.

Content ArticleBack in January 2019, we started a regular team newsletter. Initially this was aimed at only the critical care unit (CCU) team; however, very quickly it developed into an all trust audience. In this post I discuss the multiple benefits the newsletter has offered as well as the challenges I came across. I want to share my experience on developing the newsletter to encourage other teams to consider writing a regular newsletter if they don’t already have one. This followed on from several outreach teams contacting me personally for assistance in writing their own newsletters.

Just and Learning Culture: A New Way of Caring
Mike Bird posted an article in Safety culture programmes
In 2016, Merseycare NHS Foundation Trust embarked on a journey towards a just and learning culture. Since then, they have made great progress and achieved significant results. They have produced an excellent interactive online presentation for anyone who wishes to improve the culture of the healthcare organisation in which they work. It describes why they started on the journey, what they did and the kinds of results they have obtained. It is an overview of a substantial programme, and demonstrates that while changing from a retributive 'blame' culture to a restorative 'just' culture may be challenging, it can be done - to the benefit of patients and staff.- Posted

Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Joy in work
Claire Cox posted an article in Staff safety
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has published a White paper: Framework on Improving Joy in Work and a series of related videos. Clinician burnout has been well-documented and is at record highs. The same issues that drive burnout also diminish joy in work for the healthcare workforce. Healthcare leaders need to understand what factors are diminishing joy in work, nurture their workforce, and address the issues that drive burnout and sap joy in work. The most joyful, productive, engaged staff feel both physically and psychologically safe, appreciate the meaning and purpose of their work, have some choice and control over their time, experience camaraderie with others at work, and perceive their work life to be fair and equitable.- Posted
