Abuse of staff at ‘dangerous level’, say NHS bosses
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Healthcare leaders have written an open message to NHS staff, drawing attention to “the dangerous level” of abuse many are confronted with, “simply for going to work”. In the message, more than 40 NHS leaders in London said that every year “tens of thousands” of NHS staff are “confronted with violence and aggression from patients”. “Now, the abuse is at a dangerous level, with many of our once hailed heroes fearing for their safety,” they said. “We, leaders of the NHS in London, are speaking with one voice to say that aggression and violence towards our staff will not be tolera- Posted

Kit Tarka Foundation carried out a 'Babies at Risk: Neonatal Herpes Awareness' survey of new parents which found that: 60% of new and expectant parents don't know that herpes infections in young babies can be fatal. more than 1 in 6 mothers and birthing parents would allow a person that they did not know well to touch their baby without first washing their hands. a third of parents said they would not ask family and friends to wash their hands before holding their very young baby. many parents had experience of their babies being kissed by friends and family members w- Posted

India: When a ‘never event’ hits a patient
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
A young woman was left with a retained foreign object, after surgery in an India hospital. A checklist could have avoided her death. The response from the health officials was: “We have issued a show-cause notice to the staff seeking an explanation. We will initiate departmental action based on their replies and finding of our inquiry.” In the fields of healthcare quality and patient safety, such punitive measures of “naming and shaming” have not worked. T.S. Ravikumar, President, AIIMS Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, moved back to India eight years ago with the key motive to improve ac- Posted

My experience of speaking up as a healthcare assistant in a care home
Anonymous posted an article in By health and care staff
I was employed as a healthcare assistant in a care home, where I worked for about three months. During this time, I found out that patient safety and quality of care were undermined by healthcare assistants, and the management and the nurses did not seem to realise it. Examples included: Carers were given a box of gloves each and they were expected to use them for up to two weeks. When asked for more gloves, the manager would check the last time they took a box of gloves and would question what they had done with the last ones they collected. In order to save the gloves, carers used one- Posted

Diane Vaughan's theory of the normalisation of deviance
Claire Cox posted an article in Barriers
Social normalisation of deviance means that people within the organisation become so much accustomed to a deviant behaviour that they don’t consider it as deviant, despite the fact they exceed their own rules for the elementary safety. People grow more accustomed to the deviant behaviour the more it occurs . To people outside of the organisation, the activities seem deviant; however, people within the organisation do not recognise the deviance because it is seen as a normal occurrence. In hindsight, people within the organisation realise that their seemingly normal behaviour was deviant.- Posted

"Toilet paper and ventilators" – preparing for the unknown
Claire Cox posted an article in Blogs
Difficult to know where to start with this blog. Like the rest of the world, I’m anxious. We don’t know what is happening, we have not experienced anything like this before. When COVID-19 first arrived in late February (it felt like it snuck up on us, but I’m not sure that is the case), there was talk about some people having to work from home. This really suited me as I could easily do this in my role at Patient Safety Learning and it would mean I would be around more for my two boys. My boys are 12 and 14. Trying to parent boys of this age I find challenging at present. They- Posted
