This is the second interim report in Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB)s investigation into electronic patient record systems and electronic referrals for ongoing care. It has been published to highlight a risk to patient safety associated with the electronic referral service (e-RS), where referrals may be removed from healthcare provider organisation worklists without warning or recognition. The e-RS system generates digital worklists, which are used by provider organisations to

GGi: From data to insight (16 October 2026)

Patient Safety Learning · 22 hours ago22 hr

An integrated quality report (IQR or IQPR) connects clinical quality, experience, workforce, operations, risk and improvement. It is not every metric in one pack; it helps teams and boards judge whether services are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, where assurance is limited and what must happen next. In this article, GGi senior consultant James Avery asks what constitutes a good integrated quality report. The article explores how: Good quality reports turn data into insight tha

This study assesses the effects of an ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe on documentation time, note quality, clinician and patient experience in clinician–patient encounters. Using an ambient AI scribe for clinician-patient encounters reduces documentation burden, enhances clinician fulfilment and satisfaction and improves quality of interactions for patients. Effects of longer-term scribe use on professional efficiency and well-being, and patient care and outcomes warrant investigatio

Shaping independent voice in the Health Bill: seven principles for what comes next (Patients Association, 8 October)

The Health Bill will shape how patients’ voices are heard in health and social care for years to come. On 8 October 2026, the Patients Association brought together patients, carers and representatives from national, local and community organisations to explore what independent patient voice needs to look like in practice. Participants were clear that being listened to is not enough. Patients need an independent voice that reaches decision-makers, leads to action and holds the system to account.

New safety measures are now being implemented for all patients taking antidepressant medications. This follows completion of a detailed review, involving patients and their families, into how the risks of suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and persistent sexual dysfunction are communicated in the patient information leaflets (PILs) that accompany antidepressant medications. These changes involve a new boxed warning in the PIL, a new patient card and a supporting safety (ancillary) leaflet. The te

From recording to learning: Six ways general practice can improve its response to significant events

Liam_s · Monday at 06:483 days

Significant event analysis can help general practices understand why something went wrong, identify risks and improve patient safety. However, recording an event or discussing it at a meeting does not automatically produce meaningful learning. Practices need an open reporting culture, a proportionate method of review, and a reliable process for implementing and monitoring improvements. In this blog, Liam Stratton, a former Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspector, outlines six ways practices can

He says that analysing the patient journeys to identify the waste and chaos could drive far more improvement than the top-down analysis might suggest. And it could make the needed improvements far more concrete and convincing for the staff who need to impl

Patient Safety Learning · 15 October15 Oct

The prevailing strategy for combating surgically related adverse events (AEs) is to anticipate and prevent them by learning from adverse events (Safety-I). However, not all AEs can be anticipated or prevented in complex systems. This requires more focus on how daily work succeeds, that is, resilient and adaptive behaviour (Safety-II). Learning from success and promoting a positive patient safety culture (PSC) are key global strategies for eliminating preventable AEs. As a patient safety initiati

Patient experiences reported online can reveal safety incidents in healthcare organisations, but they can only translate into quality improvement if organisations engage with them.
