Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Mental health trusts will be expected to appoint a board member responsible for improving racial equality and to develop individual plans to eliminate systemic racism, according to new draft NHS England guidance seen by HSJ. The draft guidance says all providers will be required to draw up their own Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework by March 2024. These blueprints will outline how trusts plan to improve access, experience and outcomes for racialised communities, covering all services from talking therapies through to secure inpatient services. PCREFs were a key recommendation- Posted

A quarter of Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) non-executive directors of NHS trusts have seen or experienced discrimination in the course of their work, a report reveals. While almost four out of five (79%) of these BAME non-executives said they challenged such behaviour when they encountered it, only half (50%) said that led to a change of policy or behaviour. The other half felt they had been ‘fobbed off’ or subjected to actively hostile behaviour for having spoken up,” says a report commissioned by the Seacole Group, which represents most of the BAME non-executive board mem- Posted

Medical regulator faces questions over board members’ links to drug firms
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
The UK medicines watchdog has been urged to strengthen its conflict of interest policy after it emerged that six of its board members are receiving payments from the pharmaceutical industry. Board members involved in overseeing the regulator’s “strategic direction” also have financial interests in companies including US and Saudi drug giants and firms with ambitions to break into the UK’s healthcare market. Some offer consultancy services while others help run or own shares in drug and medical device firms, according to official transparency records. There is no suggestion of wrongdo- Posted

Trust board backs medical director who wrongly dismissed whistleblower
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A trust board has backed the medical director who oversaw the dismissal of a whistleblower in a case linked to patient deaths. Portsmouth Hospitals University Trust told HSJ John Knighton had the full support of the organisation when asked if he faced any censure over the wrongful dismissal of a consultant who raised the alarm about a surgical technique. Jasna Macanovic last month won her employment tribunal against the trust with the judge calling its conduct “very one-sided, reflecting a determination to remove [her] as the source of the problem”. The judgment found that the d- Posted

Why America needs a National Patient Safety Board
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Within hours of the catastrophic Fern Hollow bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, USA, the National Transportation Safety Board was on the scene, finding answers to “Why?” and “How can we keep this from ever happening again?” What could be more obvious than the value of having a team of experts on the alert — and empowered with the authority — to provide promising solutions to dangerous situations? Transportation industries embraced the recommendations because they know what its corporate mission and obligation to the public is: to get people from place to place as efficiently and safely as pos- Posted

An NHS England review into the behaviour of high-profile senior leaders who took over a Midlands trust has concluded that the interim CEO “behaved poorly and inappropriately” while its chair was “complicit with” and failed to address problems. NHS England had commissioned an independent probe into allegations about the behaviour of new executives, who had recently been appointed to the board of Walsall Healthcare Trust. David Loughton and Professor Steve Field, who hold the same roles at the Royal Wolverhampton Trust, were brought in as interim chief executive and chair respectively- Posted

The report makes five recommendations: Create an induction offer for named Health Inequality leads, including role guides and examples of actions to be taken. Use national and local action learning sets, which are already in place in some areas, for named Health Inequality leads. Create a repository of high-quality evidence, knowledge resources, methods and regularly updated case studies that reflect the progress that’s being made.

The matrix describes the key elements of quality assurance along the y-axis, and graduations of ‘maturity’ along the x-axis. For each of the key elements, we have identified indicative statements so that organisations can self-assess their level of ‘maturity'. The rate of progress is incremental and the organisation cannot progress to the next level of maturity unless all criteria from the previous box have been fulfilled and, importantly, can be evidenced. The matrix should be used to illustrate the current performance and to inform and agree on future developmental expectations. Fo- Posted

Way back in March I applied to re-join the NHS to help with COVID-19. I am a mental health nurse prescriber with an unblemished clinical record. I have had an unusual career which includes working in senior management before returning to clinical work in 2002. I have also helped deliver several projects that achieved nation recognition, including one that was highly commented by NICE in 2015, and one that was presented at the NICE Annual Conference in 2018. Several examples of my work can be found on the NICE Shared Learning resource pages. Since applying as an NHS returner. I ha- Posted
