C4news Jeremy Hunt hints new hospital inspections will focus on pre-surgical stage. Surgical safety checklist enforced at last? #neverevents
@robbethune @curetheNHS @JamesTitcombe What evidence Rob? From lay perspective, broad consistency of approach would appear vital for safety.

@C7RKY 'broad' is the right word. Should all operations use a checklist - yes. Should heart surgery use the same as for toenails - no -
@robbethune No, of course not. But I'd like to think a heart surgeon would recognise the heart surgery checklist, even if they change trusts -
@C7RKY Agreed but most important is the staff are engaged - just telling people to do things doesn't work, see http://www.milbank.org/uploads/documents/featured-articles/pdf/Milbank_Quarterly_Vol-89_No-2_2011.pdf … -
@robbethune True, but doesn't mean they shouldn't be told. Engaged staff are desireable but enforced safety standards define regulation imho
