#HumanFactors science has so much to offer to #PatientSafety - if you see the misunderstanding that #HumanFactors is the cause of safety issues or only about teamwork, please point your colleagues to @StevenShorrock humanisticsystems.com/2019/1… and ergonomics.org.uk/resource/h… @CIEHF

Really concerned that this blog contradicts NICE CG161 falls prevention guidelines and the World Falls Prevention guidelines bgs.org.uk/wfg - absolutely no place for Morse or STRATIFY or other falls prediction tools in hospital falls prevention. @mancunianmedic

Self-harm remains neglected worldwide, with at least 14 million episodes yearly.
Experts urge policy action on societal drivers & health services’ response in a new Lancet Commission.

By learning from these women's deaths we will improve care and prevent deaths in the future, which is the positive action to take away from the day. Thank you to all the volunteer midwives, doctors and nurses who have assessed women's care, lay summary writers and @mbrrace staff

No snippet I can cut would do justice to the scope of this - strongly recommend reading the whole, and rich food for thought for practice as well as research bmj.com/content/387/bmj-2023…

Great review - and the summary is probably little if any difference. Not too surprising to me given underlying causes of falls in older people - let’s redouble efforts on tackling medical/medication related causes of falls, bone health, and strength and balance training.

Our new @CochraneLibrary review is out exploring if #education and/or psychological interventions (e.g. #CBT #coaching) can reduce #falls

This expert report from @MaryDixonWoods published today is an extraordinary summation of just about everything known on patient safety culture and systems, beautifully explained. A long but essential read for anyone working anywhere in the NHS thirlwall.public-inquiry.uk/…

Important read with concerns on slow progress away from scoring/stratifying suicide risk. It mirrors similar challenges in falls risk scoring that @NICEComms also says “do not use” but still continue.

Nice walk at the seaside with my sister. Our dogs have a strange agreement to say hello and then spend the rest of the day ignoring each other.
