Content ArticleCalibration, defined as alignment between a person’s diagnostic accuracy and their confidence in that accuracy, is an essential component of diagnostic excellence. Miscalibration—the misalignment between a person’s diagnostic accuracy and their confidence in that accuracy—can manifest as either overconfidence or underconfidence and can have serious consequences for patient diagnosis. This resource about calibration from the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is primarily aimed at individual clinicians whose scope of practice includes diagnosis. It focuses on processes involved in making a diagnosis and the outcome of giving an explanatory label to patients after these processes unfold.

Content ArticleThis guide published by NHS England & Improvement describes the validation rules relating to the LFPSE project, specifically around submitting an Adverse Event via the Adverse Event Application Programming Interface (API). It covers several types of validation rules, which have been split into three sections. Bespoke business validation rules which have been implemented based on the dependencies between responses and extensions that cannot be captured by the FHIR resource validation. FHIR validation responses which may be returned from the API when native FHIR validation checks the submission body against the LFPSE FHIR profiles defined for an adverse event. Invalid operations and similar responses which are external to validation of the submission, including responses pertaining to permissions, personal information and any other responses that do not fit into the two categories above.

Friends of African Nursing
Patient_Safety_Learning posted an article in International patient safety
Friends of African Nursing (FoAN) was started as an organisation by Lesley and Kate, who had family contacts in Africa and due to their professional nursing backgrounds, had taken an interest in the health systems in African countries which they had visited whilst on holiday. It was apparent to them both separately, that the privilege of the healthcare environment in which they both worked in the UK - which offered continuing education, ready access to journals, speciality (perioperative) education and a professional association (in which they were closely involved, at home) as a ready made network was indeed a huge privilege which should be shared. Their primary interest is in supporting nurses and nursing in Africa. FOAN specialises in supporting nurses who work in Operating Theatres particularly and work with the surgical teams. Surgery is often high risk in Africa and their key interest is to update practice, educate on risk management and patient safety as well as infection prevention measures. They have also delivered programmes for ward leaders and other bespoke courses. Visit the FoAN website to find out more via the link below. -
EventVirtual wards have the potential to improve patient experience by enabling them to receive care at home, and to alleviate workforce pressures by freeing up staff time. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to improve capacity and use of virtual wards if patients and staff are to feel the benefits. Additionally, there are still extensive variations progress and use of virtual wards - operationally, digitally and financially - across the NHS and integrated care systems (ICS). With central funding coming to an end, all parts of the health and care system face practical challenges in making virtual wards a positive option for the future. Against this backdrop, this panel discussion will bring together experts to discuss: how to build a model for sustainable virtual wards that meets the immediate challenges of the health and care system, but also aligns with the NHS vision and aspirations for the future what patients and communities want from virtual wards and how their voices can shape future services what opportunities there are for virtual services to enable better integration between partners across the health and care system, as well as providing better working options and flexibility for staff.

The Duty of Candour for Wales statutory guidance. -
Content ArticleThe UK government’s long-awaited NHS workforce plan for England outlines a vision to increase the number of nursing staff in England over the next 15 years, with a promise of 170,000 more nurses by 2036/37. This article from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) outlines how the detail of the plan will affect nurses.

Better use of data for medication safety in hospitals
Kenny Fraser posted a topic in Medicine management
- (and 46 more)
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

GP trainers among those at highest risk of burnout, GMC warns
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
GP trainers are more at risk of burnout than the average for all specialties, according to the GMC’s annual training survey results. The survey of over 70,000 doctors who are trainees or trainers found that 15% of GP trainers are at high risk of burnout, which is higher than the average of 12% and ranked second only to emergency medicine at 24%. The results also showed that 24% of GP trainers said that every working hour is tiring for them, compared to 11% of public health trainers. Last month, GP leaders raised concerns about how trainers and experienced GPs will handle the long-term workforce plan’s expansion of training places, especially given the existing pressures and lack of retention measures.

Parents fear spread of ‘associate’ doctors at NHS will end in more tragedies
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A 30-year-old actress whose symptoms were dismissed as anxiety died of a blood clot. Emily Chesterton believed she had seen a GP, but had in fact been seen twice by a physician associate (PA), a newer type of medical role that involves significantly less training. Her parents, Brendan and Marion Chesterton, both 64 and retired teachers, said they have serious concerns about plans for thousands more PAs to be employed to combat staff shortages as part of the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. Chesterton’s calf pain and shortness of breath should have suggested a pulmonary embolism and meant she was sent to A&E. A coroner concluded this would probably have saved her life. Instead she was told to take anxiety pills. She collapsed that evening. She was taken to hospital but her heart stopped and she could not be revived.

Content ArticleNHS Resolution has launched its first eLearning module that focuses on learning from the significant avoidable harm that can occur during antenatal and postnatal care and is seen in the cases notified to its Early Notification Scheme. This free resource is designed to support clinicians working in maternity services. The module uses three illustrative case stories to immerse learners into the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care provided to mothers and the neonatal care provided to their babies. It aims to deepen learners' understanding of NHS Resolution’s role within the healthcare system, develop their understanding of the law of negligence as applied to clinical claims and explore how clinical decisions and actions can lead to avoidable harm. The module takes approximately two-and-a-half hours to complete and can be used as evidence of CPD hours undertaken for revalidation.
