Content ArticleThis report was triggered by the Coroner’s report into the death of Evan Nathan Smith in North Middlesex hospital. Evan was a young man with his whole life in front of him. The mistakes made in his treatment leading to his early and avoidable death brought into sharp focus the lack of understanding of sickle cell, the battles patients have to go through to get proper treatment and the terrible consequences which can come about as a result. Following the publication of the Coroner’s report, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia held three evidence sessions, hearing from patients, clinicians and politicians. This report is a result of that evidence. The findings in this report reveal a pattern of many years of sub-standard care, stigmatisation and lack of prioritisation which have resulted in sickle cell patients losing trust in the healthcare system that is there to help them, feeling scared to access hospitals, expecting poor treatment from some of those who are supposed to care for them and fearing that it is only a matter of time until they encounter serious care failings.

Content ArticleThe All Party Parliamentary Group for Allergy, in conjunction with the National Allergy Strategy Group (NASG), has launched a new report which calls for the appointment of an influential lead for allergy who can implement a new national strategy to help the millions of people across the UK affected by allergic disease. This report brings to Ministers’ attention the growing allergy epidemic and the lack of NHS services for people with allergic disease. 20 million people in the UK, a third of the population, are living with allergic disease with five million of these severe enough to require specialist care yet our allergy services remain inadequate, often hard to access and are failing those who need them the most. Change is required and is now long overdue. For the growing number of people living with allergic disease in the UK, their condition can have a significant and negative impact on their lives. It is frightening and restrictive to live with a condition which could cause a severe or life threatening reaction at any time.

Content ArticleAs part of the Clinical Human Factors Group (CHFG)'s core mission to promote human factors science in education and training, CHFG have produced a series of E-learning modules for healthcare. These modules seek to encourage the positive actions that create patient safety that are relevant to all staff working in healthcare. We use a human factors and ergonomics perspective to show how human performance and safety are affected by the way we behave, communicate and interact at work. The learning is based around a true story re-created in a new film to show the complexity of how a patient safety incident develops in an everyday scenario. The actors illustrate the subtle behaviours, that we all do some of the time, that give rise to well-documented safety issues, as well as the safety-creating behaviours we want to encourage. The modules reflect items on the NHS England’s Patient Safety Syllabus.

The aim of this study, published in BMC Health Services Research, was to evaluate the professional and organizational outcomes of a team training intervention among healthcare professionals in a surgical ward after 6 and 12 months.
