Keeping you regularly updated with the latest safety news

Your comments on the usefulness of Clinical Quality Matters balanced against those who feel that they didn’t have time to read it all has caused us to pause and think. You told us that you would prefer to receive shorter, sharper bulletins which are published more regularly and are accessible on a smartphone or tablet.

As a result of your feedback, we are now sharing a monthly summary of things we have learned from reports you have made and complaints from the public, as well as learning from good practice and compliments received.

Called ‘Safety Matters – Improving through learning’, the latest bulletin is available at this link. It will update you on obstetric emergencies and use of the Stryker Power-Pro cot, as well as our plans for World Patient Safety Day on 17 September.

If you have any feedback on Safety Matters, or ideas for an article you would like to see included in a future edition, please contact Jen McClagish.
