It found that GPs’ work is frequently disrupted by operational failures including: missing patient information problems with technology interruptions to consultations. The study identifies the nature and impact of operational failures that GPs face, allowing for more specific improvement measures to be explored. It also indicates the need for coordinated action to support GPs.- Posted

Why I ‘walk on by’
Anonymous posted an article in Florence in the Machine
Walking by is not what I want to do but walking by is what I do on a regular basis. I am ashamed to write this, to think this, to do this. I don’t think I am alone as I have seen others do it too.

Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Processes
The operating theatre works daily by the premise of ‘surgical precision’.

Given the intensity of the work and the mandatory desire for a good outcome, surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and theatre technicians are embracing a new concept in operating theatre team dynamics. The concept has been developed by nurses at Geelong Hospital. John Gibbs, a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Anaesthetics, studied Crew Resource Management str- Posted
