NHS staff fatigue is a factor in patient harm and deserves urgent attention, warns safety watchdog www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Really pleased to see this HSSIB report published - we've come a long way in the last decade to try to emphasise how much fatigue affects healthcare delivery in the NHS, and how under-recognised this still is Hopefully this helps encourage further action (And Shaun one of the very first to help!)

🆕 REPORT. Significant systemic issues, lack of patient and family involvement, and cultures of fear and blame contribute to mental health services not learning from inpatient deaths. Read the report: https://buff.ly/3PVrNB2 #PatientSafety

We should be able to "decommission" recommendations because some go out of date and are succeeded by others over time, says @hssib.bsky.social chief Dr Rosie Benneyworth at the #ThirlwallInquiry. "We need to be able to say: 'This recommendation is no longer relevant. Let's stand it down'."

New data from the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives shows ambulance services are on course for the highest rate of reported incidents of violence against staff. Our Chief Executive, @rosiebe.bsky.social, responds: www.hssib.org.uk/news-events-... #WorkWithoutFear

🆕 REPORT. Moving from inpatient children and young people’s mental health services due to a change in age rather than a change in need can have a significant impact on young people, their families and carers. Read the report: https://buff.ly/3DbkaTY #PatientSafety

‘Respectful dissenting is encouraged’ - that’s a good premise for any organisation/ family

Great piece in The Doctor @bmj.com on research by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social et al about whether quality suffers when GP working is ever more remote and fragmented. Traditional values still alive and well in primary care, but harder to realise them in the work.

For those of you wondering about what the new mental health bill is all about, here’s our Confed handy briefing hot off the press. (Most of the current legislation’s almost as old as me…). Good plans but will depend on wider infrastructure to make it work: www.nhsconfed.org/publications...
