The report makes recommendations for actions which national bodies and the healthcare system as whole can take to support organisations, including bri

Content ArticleThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) in patient care can offer significant benefits. However, there is a lack of independent evaluation considering AI in use. This paper from Sujan et al., published in BMJ Health & Care Informatics, argues that consideration should be given to how AI will be incorporated into clinical processes and services. Human factors challenges that are likely to arise at this level include cognitive aspects (automation bias and human performance), handover and communication between clinicians and AI systems, situation awareness and the impact on the interaction wi

Content ArticleFour key themes were identified in the study: context of exposure fear of punitive action team culture hierarchy.

Content ArticleSummary of findings and recommendations People living in the poorest neighbourhoods in England will on average die seven years earlier than people living in the richest neighbourhoods.

Content ArticleKey learning points An abnormal antenatal cardiotocograph (CTG) may represent chronic fetal hypoxia. Consideration should be given to the use of an antenatal CTG classification system (see example CTG sticker) and/or computerised cCTG. Intrapartum CTG classification may not be appropriate in women who are not in established labour. Where there are CTG concerns and fetal well-being cannot be further assessed, obtain senior review and consider expediting the birth. Clear communication with the woman giving birth, birth partner(s) and maternity team is an essential

They illustrate how providers have redesigned services to make the best use of the available range of skills and discipline or they found new ways to work with others in the local health and care system. Safe, effective staffing is about having enough people with the right skills, in the right place, at the
