Surgical Safety

Promoting Surgical Safety

[Surgical Safety @SafetySurgical]

I trust I may be enabled in the treatment of patients always to act with a single eye to their good.
— Lord Joseph Lister

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it.

471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment.

The best way to get results is to show respect.

Sometimes I despair of the lack of Human Factors and sometimes even basic humanity in healthcare.

Until it sees itself as a Safety Critical industry like aviation, rail, nuclear etc, reports like this will continue.

When will we reach a tipping point?

In 2024 we want to see...

✅ Surgical care being given more attention, recognition, and investment.

Because nobody deserves to suffer from a condition that could be treated with surgery. ✊

Drop a ❤️ if you agree. 🤔

A highly dysfunctional team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as not part of the team.

A BRILLIANT team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as part of the team.

This shift in mindset is everything for leadership and culture.

[NHS Patient Safety @ptsafetyNHS]

What you can achieve when you give competent people autonomy rather than try to impose unnecessary hierarchy on them. Learning from the way that Formula One transformed itself & its performance: a graphic story from @voinonen. It's brilliant & very funny: https://t.co/GlF2LJPWQn

[CORESS @CORESS5]

Taking regular breaks every few hours to rest, eat and drink can make such a difference to surgical performance. team working & patient safety

Missing a meal can reduce cognitive performance & decision making & even raise the risk of a surgical error
