More importantly, we believe the emphasis on a limited list of specified errors is unhelpful because it paradoxically deflects attention from the real goal of improving safety across the board. We are concerned that the policy creates stigma and blame which is not conducive to the open, learning culture to which we all aspire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More than ten years on from that first list of never events, a reassessment is timely even in the midst of the current pandemic. Which is why the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsib.org.uk\/documents\/272\/HSIB_Never_Events_-_analysis_of_HSIBs_national_investigations_Report_V09.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">national learning report into never events<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on its own national investigations, such as wrong site surgery\u2014wrong patient and the placement of nasogastric tubes HSIB concluded: &#8220;The analysis of the 10 Never Events included in this report found barriers that were neither strong nor systemic. These events are therefore not wholly preventable and do not fit the current definition of Never Events.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The report makes three significant recommendations: that NHS England and NHS Improvement revise the never events list to remove events that do not have strong and systemic safety barriers; that safety barriers to avoid incidents are developed where possible; and that the National Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures (NatSSIPs) policy is revised to standardise safety critical steps common across procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the MDU we often support members dealing with the emotional and medico-legal impact of an incident. We agree with this latest report that it is necessary to think about such incidents differently with more of a focus on reporting and learning from incidents. Sadly, it is not always possible to prevent patient safety incidents from happening, but preventative actions can and should be taken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The report also highlights the possible impact of the pandemic on patient safety, not least the consequence of factors such as increased fatigue, redeployment of staff and the difficulties of communicating while wearing PPE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The persistent use of the word \u201cnever\u201d reinforces the unhelpful concepts of blame and liability and is a distraction from what really matters. Rather, we should focus on creating an open and learning culture that supports those involved (patients, families and staff) along with finding out what went wrong and learning lessons so that similar events can be prevented in future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Michael Devlin<\/strong> is Head of Professional Standards &amp; Liaison at the MDU.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Competing interests<\/strong>: none declared.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MDU\u2019s Michael Devlin argues the never events policy has had a limited effect on patient safety and welcomes a reassessment by the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch.
