Safety Chats blog series: Part 1
Gina Winter-Bates posted an article in Good practice
A personal perspective I was a newly qualified nurse working in cardiac care in the wake of the Kennedy report into deaths at Bristol Royal infirmary between 1984-1995.

Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A website that tells patients how long they are likely to wait for NHS treatment will be made available in Scotland this summer.

“There’s no problem with the mesh”: A personal account of the struggle to get vaginal mesh removal surgery
Anonymous posted an article in Women's health
In 2005, while in a consultation about an unrelated problem, my gynaecologist asked me whether I ever experienced incontinence. When I said that occasionally I did, very slightly, while exercising, he suggested I have a transvaginal mesh inserted while I was having a coil fitted. It would “future proof” me against incontinence and I would be in and out of hospital in a day. So without thinking much of it, I agreed to the surgery. That was a mistake that I have bitterly regretted for the past 17 years; I have never been well since I had that surgery. Straight afterwards, I had a UTI, the- Posted

National Voices’ conference on Integrated Care Systems
Patient-Safety-Learning posted a calendar event in Community Calendar
untilOn 23 June 2022, National Voices is holding an all-day conference, as we explore the topic of Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), on the eve of ICSs becoming statutory bodies that cover the entirety of England. Now is the right moment to identify the changes we want to see as a result of this fundamental shift in the way the health and care system is organised. We want to see better, more equal outcomes for people, especially those not currently well supported by existing models.
