‘High reliability organisations are organisations that work in situations that have the potential for large-scale risk and harm, but which manage to balance effectiveness, efficiency and safety. They also minimise errors through teamwork, awareness of potential risk and constant improvement’ [The Health Foundation November 2011]

Medical errors in America and within EU, kill more people than AIDS or drug overdoses.

Hand Washing (Dec 20)

When we think of the 2 most probable causes of nosocomial infections, arguably they  are hand hygiene  and inappropriate use of antibiotics. In the case of hand hygiene, all health care workers understand the need for this control in the hospital setting. Why do we forget?
