Patient safety investigations are ultimately about ensuring we learn from mistakes, and take meaningful action to improve. Here are some of the things I look for in a great patient safety investigation. Have I missed anything? ✅️ A robust Terms of Reference - your guide through the process ✅️ Attention to detail - the small details matter, and can often lead us to the root cause ✅️ Engagement at all levels - from patients and loved ones to staff at all levels, we need to be speaking to everyone who might have useful information ✅️ Asking 'why?' - until we get to the root cause - '5 Whys' is a good guide ✅️ Findings that tell a story - a good narrative helps build the picture ✅️ Robust recommendations that relate to both the ToR and findings Making sure we include the above helps build a SMART action plan that helps us improve

How could the Patient Safety Commissioner role develop in the future? In this video, Patient Safety Commissioner (PSC) Dr Henrietta Hughes talks about how her role can help to identify safety gaps and bring together different parts of the system to overcome these – recommendations we made in our 2022 report, Safer Care for All. Where there are gaps that no organisation or body has the remit to address, the PSC role could expend to fill these.

Patient Safety Learning believes that all health and social care organisations must have access to comprehensive patient safety standards that they can adopt and implement to meet their legal and moral obligations. Doing so would deliver the following benefits: safer, quality patient care, consistently delivered an assurance that patient safety sits at the organisation’s core demonstration of leadership and organisational commitment improved governance via a strengthened risk management system and approach improved performance through the delivery of greater efficiencies and increased effectiveness the ability for patients and families, funders and communities to identify and differentiate good safety providers reassurance to regulators.

World Patient Safety Day !! It serves as a powerful reminder that patient safety is not just a responsibility but a moral obligation we all share. Every action, every decision in healthcare contributes to safeguarding lives.

This morning I'm speaking to the Patient Safety Education Network https://lnkd.in/eFZChUUs about "The importance of establishing a meaningful relationship with the family after a patient safety incident" and I'll be asking some big questions as part of this presentation: 1. What does good engagement with families achieve and how does it affect an investigation and report? 2. Can good engagement prevent the family from being further traumatised by the investigation following a loved one’s death? 3. Is a meaningful relationship with the family transformative to the investigation and for the organisation? 4. We know that the new PSIRF guidance tells us that engagement with the family is key – but why is that?
