After careful contemplation, I have arrived at the considered conclusion that the proposed #safespace for NHS staff is absolute bo***cks and must be fought against resolutely.
It will only further aid despicable cover-ups, which are already rife in the utterly corrupt NHS anyway.
It's not pretty, imo Mike. Pretty much the exact opposite of what Duty of Candour was supposed to be all about. Worth following @PeterWalshAvMA's tweets on the subject for a bite-sized overview if you want to know more. Needs to be stopped in its tracks.

From what I recall, 'safe spaces' were being proposed because without them, the worry was that clinicians would simply not admit mistakes: of course, if only clinicians are inside the safe space, how can 'we' judge whether a mistake 'was culpable or 'forgivable''?.

Exactly. Clinicians already don't admit their mistakes. Duty of candour is not the individual statutory duty Francis called for & the organisational offering is farce. We're starting to be able to scrutinise them. They don't like it. They want it to stop. I don't think it should.
