So many doctors finding their voices to speak out about the shortcomings of a health app with potential to offer harmful advice. Not feel the need for 'safe space' to do that then? If only half as many of you could find your voices to speak out about the actual harm covered up...

Interesting idea John, I wonder if it became second nature to report because it was made a legal requirement or because of the partial self interest?
-
Not sure tbh. But we know regulators tend to contain industry figures among their number who tend to drive the agenda, so I don't think it would be a surprise to find such influence played a part?
-
So much concentration on following the AAIB way because of safety record, so little explanation as to why! The analogies of the tow systems have never added up to me.
-
If I had a pound for every time I'd had the 'correlation doesn't equal causation' line thrown at me..? Just having those systems in place isn't what makes airlines safe. Any system can be made to fail if you feed it lies. No matter how good it is. As NHS seem intent to prove imho
-
But imagine a senior manager in the airline industry trying to convince a pilot not to mention something on his safety log so it didn't reflect badly on the airline. Do you think the pilot would agree? Why not? Answers itself really. Doesn't quite work the same in the NHS world.

I said the same earlier. I have never had any fear of openness & honesty with patients & families. I have, at times feared my colleagues & seniors, because of the name, blame, shame & retrain culture. Stories I may tell in the fullness of time.

I shall look forward to reading them when you do. :)

Me too!

This reflects open and safe culture, AAIB is a very mature organisation, which healthcare safety certainly isn’t
-
It's open, safe & mature because it recognises reality - they and their colleagues die too, if they're not so minded. Honesty ensues. No such motivation exists in healthcare. Self preservation there is best served by secrecy & cover-up. Safe space has no place in that mix, imho.
-
I recognise that same reality>I am an experienced HCP. Every single member of my family has received care in the NHS. I have had 2 major neuro ops. 2 of my daughters were in SCBU as newborns. Mrs S, 3 emergency ops. Our friends & family are patients too, we want the best care too
-
I do understand that Ken, but we both know that if that influence were prevalent throughout the NHS, then none of the seemingly endless supply of scandals which continue to emerge would've been allowed to happen. Some greater force clearly exists.
-
The relentless pressure on those at the blunt end to meet financial targets has played a part. The prevalent name, blame & shame culture has played a part. Egotistical posturing has played a part. The developing safety culture at least gives us hope.
-
Agree gives us hope, I'm definitely not losing that! Remember, over many years being told categorically, you won't be ever get a public inquiry into midstaffs.

other than to say registered nurses are professionally obliged to advocate for patients, not employers / other HCP’s. That is what they must do and what patients should expect.
