We’ve have a set of e-learning resources designed around Human Factors and Patient Safety and to support healthcare professionals in practice. There are two online versions available: • Introduction – a foundation in clinical human factors • Clinical Plus – a more in-depth exploration for those looking to build on their knowledge Both are practical, accessible, and focused on real clinical settings. For organisations, the courses are also available in SCORM format, so they can be easily uploaded and delivered through your own LMS. If this could support your team or organisation, feel free to get in touch to learn more, or follow this link: lnkd.in/eNhP65Ga hashtag#PatientSafety hashtag#Training hashtag#ELearning hashtag#SCORM hashtag#HumanFactors 📷Home

there’s no deal that will solve the problem… … just one to stop it getting worse. myemail.constantcontact.com/Worse.html?soi…

If only @wesstreeting and @BMAResidents would read this 🙏

So true

So true !

This makes for uncomfortable reading from @RoyLilley today roughly one specialist nurse for every 430 people with a learning disability, meaning… … one solo nurse looking after the equivalent of two thirds of the patients in an average district general hospital @jimgblair

Another national review risks doing something quite different from building consensus... ... it risks reopening a settlement that had already been achieved, at a time, now, when the political environment is far less stable than it was in 2014. myemail.constantcontact.com/Grass.html?soi…

Mrs. T, 76, background of mild dementia. Admitted with COPD exacerbation. Doing well. Discharge planned for day 3. AM, night 2: bed manager moves her to a different ward. Bed pressures. Wheeled through dark corridors. New bay. Different nurses. Belongings in bags. By morning: frightened, disorientated, and calling out. Delirium diagnosed. Workup: all normal. No infection, no medication change, no pain. The cause: probably mostly the ward move itself. Sleep deprivation + loss of orientation cues + unfamiliar environment = iatrogenic delirium. We do this every night, in every hospital. Her avoidable delirium was very costly to her: reduced confidence, worse mobility, lasting traumatic memories. It also meant 4 extra days of hospital bed costs. ↳ How many cases of delirium in your hospital are caused by inadequate care? #acutecare #dementia

We invest heavily in urgent treatment centres, triage algorithms and flow management to reduce avoidable A&E use. Yet, we’ve allowed the preventive structure of early childhood to crumble. myemail.constantcontact.com/Front-door.htm…

The decline of health visiting is not just an early-years story. It is part of the causal-chain that runs, slowly and predictably, from… … the front door of a new-born’s home, right to A&E's front door. myemail.constantcontact.com/Front-door.htm…

The blunt truth.The ugly reality.It may only be spoken of in hushed, private moments but however it’s dressed up, however much sugar is laced on the pill…half of people working in NHSE and in ICBs are set for the axe. That’s the reality. myemail.constantcontact.com/Say-so.html?so…

HMG is muddling along. A foolish boy has abandoned his custodianship of the NHS, squandered ambition in recklessness and on a wafer-thin majority will be gone at the next election. myemail.constantcontact.com/Say-so.html?so…

logical reform should be 5 steps: >Design the regional model in detail. >Identify the skills and roles that need to transfer. >Ring-fence critical expertise. >Staff the regions… … then, number 5, reshape and reduce ICBs. myemail.constantcontact.com/Itself.html?so…

The best professional development happens in improvement work, not classrooms. When frontline staff work on improvement projects, they become the experts who understand the work better than anyone. New post: davidmwilliamsphd.com/2025/12/19/imp…

This dispute is no longer really about Christmas, or even pay. It’s about how fast Starmer wakes up to who is running the NHS and the fact Streeting has made a Horlicks of this... ...and how fast he can get everyone around the table at Number Ten. myemail.constantcontact.com/Ten.html?soid=…

Spot on @RoyLilley why can’t the politicians see this ! @wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer

@SkyNews As a prostate cancer survivor, discovered by luck, this is the wrong decision. Many countries have targeted screening and are using the data to improve the targeting.

Sweden… developed regional prostate testing for men aged 50–74, much like any other national screening programme myemail.constantcontact.com/Club.html?soid…

Even Peter Lovenkrands had to admire it! 👏 #BBCFootball
