- Commenting on a written statement by the Secretary of State for Justice, announcing measures aimed at reducing the UK's high rate of criminal re-offending, Dr Clare Jenkins, Chairman of the BMA's Civil and Public Services Committee, said: "Prison doctors will be pleased that the Government has pledged to introduce some of the measures that the BMA has been calling for over the past few years.
- In its report, ‘Learning from investigations,’ the Healthcare Commission has urged boards of all NHS trusts in England to heed the lessons from serious failings in healthcare services and stressed that good leadership, effective management and systematic use of information are keys to avoiding failings in patient safety.
The report contains the findings of a review of the first 13 investigations undertaken by the Commission under its statutory powers from August 2004 to April 2007. These included two investigations into learning disability services, three into maternity services, two on infection control and two about bullying and harassment. Other investigations covered specific clinical areas such as gastroenterology, cardiac services, management of medicines and emergency care. The following common trends were identified: poor leadership, ineffective management, inadequate teamwork with staff feeling unable to communicate problems and a lack of clarity about who was responsible for what across the trust. The latest investigation into infection control at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, published in October 2007, highlighted many of the same concerns. The Commission made the following recommendations to the wider NHS based on its experience of conducting investigations:
• Senior managers must actively elicit views about safety from frontline staff.
• Every board member should ensure that information and trends are reported to them and acted on.
• Boards and senior managers must allocate time to look at whether they are meeting the needs of vulnerable patients.
• Trusts should have systems to improve services and safeguard patients that are part of its everyday functions, not added on at the end.
