Amazing to note the difference in safety records between healthcare, where doctors don't die alongside their patients; https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/941246786315964416 … ..and aviation, where pilots may well die alongside their passengers.https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/947868718020939776 …

Replying to @C7RKY
I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to make. Healthcare isn’t my forte now, but
@MartinBromiley has made significant changes and had influence in the way the safety culture in healthcare has changed over the years.2 replies 1 retweet 4 likes -
Replying to @jumbo747pilot @MartinBromiley
I've no doubt Martin will have brought many positive changes to the debate. But I think the elephant in the room here is candour. What pilot would be foolish enough to cover up a potentially fatal error? The personal consequence is only too apparent. Opposite true for clinicians.

It's also because healthcare isn't like flying a plane despite the fact we are endlessly told it is.

And please remember that safety is relative, not absolute. Risk can be reduced, sure, but aircraft still crash. Problems will not “never happen again” in healthcare.

Well.. some problems should never happen again in healthcare. Never Events. But the last full year's figures show they still do. 424 times. 424 known risks the airline industry were just better at avoiding last year? https://improvement.nhs.uk/uploads/documents/Provisional_Never_Events_April_2016_-_March_2017.pdf …pic.twitter.com/qZ51coZsXf

Yes... I wasn't particularly happy when they moved away from the original 8 Never Events. Given my personal interest was in wrong site surgery, it seemed in many ways to dilute the seriousness of the message, as the list got longer.

Learning without changing is pointless. Future victims queue.
