Excellent to hear this progress and super to be reported as October draws to a close - Doncaster Rovers staff running 10k a day for the whole of October to raise money for @ProstateUK @drfc_official. Link below to donate to my Son’s page: prostateunited.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/ol…

Yes thank you! I have always been impressed by the amazing skills of Paramedics to very quickly build rapport with patients and families 👏👏👏

This is really important work and requires us all to think differently

Important to be clear: #SuicidePrevention is no less vital for mental health care & society more widely. Having mental capacity is not a reason for services to say they cannot intervene with suicidal patients. #AssistedDyingBill

2.Myth: No need for HF in testing; errors are obvious. Truth: No errors ≠ perfect design. HF uncovers hidden issues & user workarounds. Details: team-consulting.com/insights/10-hu…

Happy Diwali! We would like to wish all those celebrating a bright and prosperous day

A successful health system must have the patient's voice and their needs at the heart of it. The Patient Safety Commissioner has published a set of principles that all services should benchmark themselves against when considering how they meet the needs of patients. The details of the principles and the College endorsement can be found here: patientsafetycommissioner.org.uk/principles/end…

Happy AHP day! Thanks for everything you do

The language we use as leaders shapes workplace culture. It plays a critical role in psychological safety. Our words (& the way we communicate) can encourage the experimentation & risk-taking we want our teams to demonstrate for innovation & improvement. It can also stifle initiative. @tom_geraghty sets out "seven deadly sins of psychological safety" - the most common/damaging things leaders say that crush psychological safety in the workplace: 1) “That’s a terrible idea.” 2) “You should know that by now.” 3) “Whose fault is this?” 4)“Everyone is replaceable.” 5)“Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions.” 6)“Just get it done.” 7) “Not now, I’m too busy.” psychsafety.co.uk/the-seven-dead…. @tnvora has translated them into a brilliant graphic: qaspire.com/7-deadly-sins-….

Absolutely love this! True what they say “A picture speaks a thousand words!”

This expert report from @MaryDixonWoods published today is an extraordinary summation of just about everything known on patient safety culture and systems, beautifully explained. A long but essential read for anyone working anywhere in the NHS thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/evidence/inq01…

Culture is a patient safety issue. Working environments effect quality and safety; they impact on staffing, on retention, and ways of working. This World Patient Safety Day, speak up for safety. #SpeakUpforSafety #WorldPatientSafetyDay #Culture

Excellent resource to support and invite patients to be part of the care

Really sad to read of the loss of another NHS doctor to suicide. I had one of the best rotations of medical school in Stepping Hill A&E department in my 5th year in 2005. I was quite set on becoming an Emergency Medic. My experience there was so inspiring.

@MadHatterMurtha @LPTnhs You were very welcome Andy it was great to hear your experience and wisdom together with some humour too!

Friday I had the honour of attending and speaking @LPTnhs International Nursing Day. Thank you for allowing me to join you.

Happy International Nurses day. Looking forward to helping LPT nurses to use SEIPS /Human Factors methodology to create a system where we can all do our best work! 👏👏 encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A…

The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) promotes a range of system-based approaches for learning from patient safety incidents. SEIPS is one of those approaches. Join us on 17th May for an introduction to SEIPS and how to apply it eventbrite.co.uk/e/introduction… @DrRobgalloway @RuthODowd3 @pbnes @HFJane @ProfAndersonHF @JamesTitcombe @andycollen @SuzysShoes @rduggins @ClareCrowley17 @rwbrownhill @dr_alwilliamson @SusannaStanford @AmandaPike__ @doctoryoung @neilspenceley @neilljthompson @Baz_k @Mothers_Inst_UK @drjeffcott

Martha's Rule strips power away from those who cling on to it at the centre and shares that power with patients and colleagues so we learn together in a just culture - addressing the Global Ministerial Summit on Patient Safety in Chile today #patientvoice #MarthasRule
