The Betsy Lehman Center
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in International patient safety
Betsy Lehman, a reporter and mother of two young girls, was battling breast cancer. While in the hospital, her care team made a series of fatal mistakes, giving her four times the intended dose of a powerful chemotherapy drug. Her death at age 39 in 1994 catalysed a national movement to improve patient safety. While progress has been made, surveys show that between 20-25% of Massachusetts residents have experienced a medical error. In honour of Betsy and every patient, the Betsy Lehman Center are advancing strategies to improve the safety of health care in the Commonwealth and beyond. -

I love and support the NHS. But when things go wrong for patients and service users, the system is often too slow to change or respond effectively. I have been through complaints, the Ombudsman and Inquest processes around the poor end of life care of my late mother. Those processes took years and were almost as stressful as those last few days of my mother’s life. I would not do it again. At the time, I reported the incident in detail to the CQC (inspectors), to the CCG (commissioners), to Healthwatch (local and national), but I noted no evidence of change. In fact, the CQC continued for- Posted

Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A world-famous hospital has a culture where some staff may put research interests above patient safety, according to an external investigation.

The trust’s medical director Sanjiv Sharma commissioned the report into the effectiveness of its safety procedur -
