The NHS needs a culture shift if it truly wants to put patient safety first | Richard Vize
The NHS needs a culture shift if it truly wants to put patient safety first | Richard Vize The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch may be good for patients and staff, but will it tackle a piecemeal approach and design safety into the NHS?
The launch of the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) marks an opportunity for substantial improvement in patient safety. But there may be fears that it will provide a veneer of progress, while the wider system still fails to tackle the root causes of safety problems. The Guardian
