NHS ‘failing to learn lessons’ from medical staff’s errors
OUTMODED systems to deal with medical staff who make mistakes are hampering efforts to improve patient safety in the NHS, a leading doctor has warned.
Dr Robert Hendry, the Medical Protection Society’s (MPS) head of medical services in Scotland, said the long, drawn-out process inflicted on staff when something went wrong put others off coming forward to report errors for fear they would be put through the same experience. He said this meant that lessons could not be learnt from mistakes to stop them happening again.
