I met at a recent conference a newly appointed Patient Safety Manager. She’d been working in a supporting role in another organisation and was delighted with her obviously well deserved promotion to a more senior role of patient safety manager in another Trust. But 6 days in, she’s had no induction, there is no patient safety strategy or plan in the Trust, there isn’t any guidance as how she should do her job other than just ‘get on with doing RCAs. ‘ She doesn’t know who she can turn to for advice or support either in her Trust or elsewhere. Are there networks of PSMs she can turn to? Surely there is a model framework for patient safety that is produced as a guide? How can we help her and other PSMs?- Posted

Content ArticleDespite 20 years of effort, every year avoidable unsafe care still leads tens of thousands of patients to suffer death or serious, life-changing harm. A Blueprint for Action, a report from Patient Safety Learning, furthers the analysis of the systemic causes of this harm and describes actions to make patient care safer. Last September, health and patient safety professionals and patients overwhelmingly welcomed the analysis of avoidable unsafe care offered in Patient Safety Learning’s Green Paper, A Patient-Safe Future. Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care described it as “…the blueprint for action that we need.” Following widespread consultation on the Green Paper, A Blueprint for Action extends this analysis to identify actions to address the systemic causes of unsafe care.

Patient safety: this is public health (2014)
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Improving patient safety
Avoidable patient harm is a major public health concern. While the public health community has contributed much to one aspect of patient harm prevention, infection control, the tools and techniques of public health have far more to offer to the emerging field of patient safety science. Patient safety practice has become increasingly professionalised in recent years, but specialist degree programmes in the field remain scarce. Healthcare organisations should consider graduate training in public health as an avenue for investing in the professional development of patient safety practitioners, and schools and programs of public health should support further research and teaching to support patient safety improvement. Alan J Card discusses this further in his article in the Journal of Healthcare Risk Management. -

Content ArticleLearning from deaths of people in their care can help providers improve the quality of the care they provide to patients and their families, and identify where they could do more. A CQC review in December 2016, 'Learning, candour and accountability: a review of the way trusts review and investigate the deaths of patients in England' found some providers were not giving learning from deaths sufficient priority and so were missing valuable opportunities to identify and make improvements in quality of care. This video from the NHS Improvement national patient safety team is a guide for NHS trusts in England on developing and implementing learning from deaths policies within their organisations.
