Assessments of efficiency involve more value judgements than typically assumed! In this new paper, the @Phil4hcq team, including our @entwistlev, show how different constructions of efficiency promote or neglect different interests. https://t.co/pLLNcSUUGF

If we want to improve responses to safety incidents, we need to talk about #justice.

Alan Cribb, @janekohara & @dr_waring discuss retributive, distributive & restorative justice in the context of #healthcare & #patientsafety.

Rendering #normativity more visible - & its complexity more navigable - is just one thing that #bioethics can offer #HealthcareImprovement.

In late 2022, @EntwistleV spoke about 'But why is that better?' with the @bermaninstitute.

The authors (@SharonKMcCann @lindsayeoliver @NickBarned @padsbigsis & our very own @EntwistleV & Alan Cribb) point out that people who are socially disadvantaged &/or living with complex health conditions are particularly affected by having their #PCSP appointments by phone.

During COVID-19, 'Personalised Care & Support Planning' #consultations for people with long-term conditions moved to #telephone.

Newly published qualitative study shows the challenges this poses, esp. when preparatory support is limited:

What part do conversations play in #healthcare #QualityImprovement?

Alan Cribb, @EntwistleV & Polly Mitchell look at both 'organised' #conversations & more informal or routine chats - as well as places where explanatory & normative #complexity intersect.

Diverse values & ethical issues run through healthcare improvement but not always given the critical attention they need. The @phil4hcq team, including our @entwistlev, offer a constructive agenda for improvement ethics. Free to read at

[THIS Institute @THIS_Institute]

In our latest Element, authors Alan Cribb, Polly Mitchell and @EntwistleV conclude that improvement ethics should be a key component of healthcare improvement – it’s not just for ethics specialists.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

The "Cambridge Elements" series on major approaches to improving quality & safety in health & care has published its new guide on values & ethics in improvement work. It's free for all to read/download. The guide helps us to focus on:
1) the rich array of values that underpin both the goals of healthcare improvement & actions for improvement.
2) the value judgements, tensions, & trade-offs involved in decisions about which goals to prioritise & which approaches to adopt.
So that we do better improvement work.
This is a brilliant guide for members of improvement teams to read individually, then have a group discussion & decide on actions to take: https://t.co/fZlfO379V8. Thank you @CambridgeUP @THIS_Institute @MaryDixonWoods

[But why is that better? @phil4hcq]

What if we consider the perhaps contradictory-sounding idea that efforts to improve #healthcare are rarely unequivocally good?

Why do we need to question things in #Healthcare improvement? Polly Mitchell, Alan Cribb, and @EntwistleV have some answers!
They talk about how being sceptical helps us spot what's not working in healthcare and how sticking too much to the same old ways can be a problem.

They even suggest that 🧠 thinking like a 🥸 philosopher could help us see things differently.

Check it out and see how asking questions can make healthcare better! 🏥 Read the full article 👁️
