#HumanFactors science has so much to offer to #PatientSafety - if you see the misunderstanding that #HumanFactors is the cause of safety issues or only about teamwork, please point your colleagues to @StevenShorrock https://t.co/Pyujz20MMF and https://t.co/9PlioggxiF @CIEHF

Really concerned that this blog contradicts NICE CG161 falls prevention guidelines and the World Falls Prevention guidelines https://t.co/tN738gtrPm - absolutely no place for Morse or STRATIFY or other falls prediction tools in hospital falls prevention. @mancunianmedic
🗨️... fall prevention is not just a patient safety priority but also an ethical obligation and a cost-saving measure🗨️

@mbrrace By learning from these women's deaths we will improve care and prevent deaths in the future, which is the positive action to take away from the day. Thank you to all the volunteer midwives, doctors and nurses who have assessed women's care, lay summary writers and @mbrrace staff
No snippet I can cut would do justice to the scope of this - strongly recommend reading the whole, and rich food for thought for practice as well as research https://t.co/MnCyTV8QrC
Great review - and the summary is probably little if any difference. Not too surprising to me given underlying causes of falls in older people - let’s redouble efforts on tackling medical/medication related causes of falls, bone health, and strength and balance training.
Our new @CochraneLibrary review is out exploring if #education and/or psychological interventions (e.g. #CBT#coaching) can reduce #falls

@TaraJLamont @maxwele2 Thanks! It’s a lovely piece of work summarising the positive and negative. I’d love us to move the debate on to how we can create standards that are minimalist, sensible, realistic and pitched for a complex, multi-morbid, individualised world.
