Sharing his take home message for #RCPCH25 @PeterLachman says:
“We need to inject patient safety into the genome from medical training onwards” it needs to be in the DNA of every clinician.

I've heard debate (again) about the pros of #QI vs #Lean, and vice versa...
You don't need to choose one or the other. It’s more important to develop a clear, well-defined organisational structure for #improvement, and empower people at the front line to effect change.

As The BMJ celebrates 10 years since the launch of its patient and public partnership strategy, we ask why more medical journals do not have a similar partnership with patients.
This #BMJInfographic shows four ways to encourage patients to get involved
