Parents both contribute to and prevent paediatric patient safety incidents in #GeneralPractice, mostly averting harms through mitigatory actions and advocacy efforts doi.org/10.3399/BJGP... @t-purchase-gp.bsky.social @joymcfadzean.bsky.social @carsonstevens.bsky.social @dpmcardiffuni.bsky.social

Have you, or someone you care for, had an ambulance attend and you stayed at home instead of going to hospital? Sam is carrying out a PhD study on how safe this is, and your experience could really help. Healthcare professionals with experience of non-conveyance please take part too. Thank you 🙏🏼

We’re helping identify the top 10 research priorities for chronic and recurrent UTI in the UK. It only takes a few minutes to complete the survey and could help shape future care. www.surveymonkey.com/r/UTI_PSP #UTISky

Proud of WESPA (Welsh Ergonomics and Safer Patients Alliance) **2024@cardiffuni.bsky.social Celebrating Excellence Awardees** students & staff from health (medicine and vision sciences), business and engineering that volunteered with the NHS during the pandemic to help improve systems for patients.
An abstract to a journal article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annemergmed.2022.12.029. The abstract reads: Emergency departments (EDs) are dynamic, complex, and demanding environments. Introducing changes that lead to improvements
in EDs can be challenging owing to the high staff turnover and mix, high patient volume with different needs, and being the front door
to the hospital for the sickest patients. Quality improvement is a methodology applied routinely in EDs to instigate change to improve
several outcomes such as waiting times, time to de nitive treatment, and patient safety. Introducing the changes needed to transform
the system in this way is seldom straightforward with the risk of“not seeing the forest for the trees” when attempting to change the
system. In this article, we demonstrate how the functional resonance analysis method can be used to capture the experiences and
perceptions of frontline staff to identify the key functions in the system (the trees), to understand the interactions and dependencies
between them to make up the ED ecosystem (“the forest”) and to support quality improvement planning, identifying priorities and
patient safety risks.
