Any ‘safe space’ has to be inclusive of patients and/or families or it won’t work. My perceived safety threat has never been from patients & families, it has been from senior healthcare professionals & person-centred, name, blame & shame centred incident investigations.
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.
