- Applies the principles of risk management gained in the aviation, nucleur and petrochemical industries to healthcare
- The highly accessible style covers the key techniques and principles of patient safety in a practical way
- Includes numerous case studies highlighting the importance of patient safety principles
- Contains checklists, help boxes and other strategies for minimising errors
Following recent high profile cases of surgical error in the UK and USA, patient safety has become a key issue in healthcare, now placed at heart of junior doctor's training. Errors made by doctors are very similar to those made in other high risk organisations, such as aviation, nuclear and petrochemical industries. Practical Patient Safety aims to demonstrate how core principles of safety from these industries can be applied in surgical and medical practice, in particular through training for health care professionals and healthcare managers.
Whilst theoretical aspects of risk management form the backdrop, the book
focuses on key techniques and principles of patient safety in a practical way, giving the reader practical advice on how to avoid personal errors, and more importantly how to start patient safety training within his or her department or hospital.Readership: Junior doctors, trainee surgeons, nurses and nurse practitioners, and hospital managers

"The authors' last paragraph says 'Be brave. The fact that you have bought this book means you are in the vanguard of change'. Those bringing up the rear, who have not bought it, should borrow a copy from their more enlightened colleagues." - British Journal of Hospital Medicine "This excellent volume delivers crucial information and advice, elegantly presented in a practical and trim format. Its 345 grams sit easily in the pocket of a white coat and to adapt a metaphor to recognise the importance of hand function, it punches well above its weight." - Journal of Surg Eng
