The NHS Patient Safety Conference 2022: Breaking a culture of defensiveness

A top health service watchdog recently announced that Little progress” has been made improving patient safety in the NHS over the past 20 years with Serious accidents such as surgery on the wrong part of the body remain commonplace.

It has been reported that a lack of patient safety leadership and a “blame game” culture is playing a key role in the lack of safety progression over the last 20 years, our upcoming Patient Safety congress will open the debate surrounding NHS patient safety and provide clear guidelines on how as a collective we can improve the culture and ultimately the safety of patients.

2019 saw the NHS patient safety strategy published, the document provides a framework to enable a culture transition from “blame to learning”, the document sets out 3 key principles to help achieve this; Insight – Improving understanding of safety by drawing intelligence from multiple sources of patient safety information / Involvement – Equipping patients, staff and partners with the skills and opportunities to improve patient safety throughout the whole system / Improvement – Designing and supporting programs that deliver effective and sustainable change in the most important areas.

Dr Sarah Kay

We share our experience of a national clinical quality assurance programme during the Covid- 19 pandemic. Patient safety was supported through a review of both audio and written records for over 5000 remote GP consultations. We describe our strategy to enhance patient safety and quality of care amidst a climate of frequent change. Alongside quality and safety assurance, our audit programme supported the GP workforce as they upskilled in this novel service, through structured peer support to aid professional development. We share recommendations for both primary care providers and the wider ICS on the value of proactive audio record review in both assuring quality and safety of services as well as supporting the workforce.
