Community PostThis year's theme for World Patient Safety Day (17 September) is Health Worker Safety: A Priority for Patient Safety. We know that staff safety is intrinsically linked to patient safety but we need your insight to help us understand what matters most when it comes to feeling safe at work. So we're asking you to tell us: What is most needed for health and care staff to feel physically or mentally safe at work? In this short video, Claire Cox (Patient Safety Learning's Associate Director of Patient Safety and a Nurse) shares her top three. What do you think is most needed? Please join the conversation and help us speak up for health worker safety! Nb: You'll need to sign in to the hub to comment (click on the icon in the top right of your screen).

Content ArticleObstetric incidents can be catastrophic and life-changing, with related claims representing the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts’ (CNST) biggest area of spend. The Maternity Safety Strategy set out the Department of Health and Social Care’s ambition to reward those who have taken action to improve maternity safety supported through the Maternity Incentive Scheme. Year four of the Maternity Incentive Scheme launched on 9 August 2021. The scheme supports the delivery of safer maternity care through an incentive element to trust contributions to the CNST. The scheme, developed in partnership with the national maternity safety champions, Dr Matthew Jolly and Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent OBE, rewards trusts that meet ten safety actions designed to improve the delivery of best practice in maternity and neonatal services. In the fourth year, the scheme will further incentivise the ten maternity safety actions from the previous year with some further refinement.

The Maternity Incentive Scheme (MIS) is a financial incentive program designed to enhance maternity safety within NHS Trusts. It rewards Trusts that can demonstrate they have implemented a set of core safety actions, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of care for women, families and newborns. This report from NHS Resolution provides an overview of the national results from year 6 of the MIS. The report summarises its key points as follows: 120 Trusts submitted for MIS Year 6. MIS payments into the scheme ranged from £140k to £3.86 million. 102 Trusts achieved full compliance (10/10) after validation – the highest since the scheme began. No Trusts were downgraded following external verification suggesting improved data integrity and/or supportive validation processes. 18 Trusts were upgraded following external verification. Trusts appear to have improved openness in self-declaration. Safety Action (SA) 8 (Multi-Professional Training) had the lowest compliance, often due to incomplete training coverage across all required staff groups. Challenges with anaesthetic and obstetric compliance. SA1 (Perinatal Mortality Review Tool [PMRT]) continued to be a challenge for some Trusts, with delays in completing factual questions and lack of evidence of multidisciplinary review within expected timeframes. SA2 (Maternity Services Data Set [MSDS] submission) achieved 100% compliance, reflecting strong engagement with national data requirements. All non-compliant Trusts in Year 6 submitted fully costed and sustainable safety improvement plans. Implementation will be overseen by Integrated Care Boards (ICB). Four appeals were submitted by Trusts in relation to their compliance outcomes. One appeal was upheld, resulting in a change to the Trust’s compliance status. Three were not upheld as the original decisions were found to be consistent with the standards and evidence. -
Content ArticleOne of the reasons why patient safety may be put at risk during healthcare interventions is a lack of staff adherence to patient safety guidelines. There could be a relationship between staff’s adherence to patient safety guidelines and their perceived level of reward for their work and/or motivation. This study from Asmoro et al. examined the relationship between reward and adherence to patient safety guidelines, and between motivation and adherence to patient safety guidelines, among nurses working in emergency departments (EDs) in Indonesia. They found that ensuring ED nurses are motivated for their work by offering rewards – such as a decent salary, a supportive workplace environment and career progression opportunities – is important to enhance their adherence to patient safety guidelines.
