Key points from the meeting

  • The PSA and the associated research group (Quality, Reliability, Safety and Teamwork Unit) have made internationally recognised advances in testing and developing interventions to make healthcare safer.
  • The PSA and GMC are now working in partnership on a programme of training and process redesign for staff at the GMC’s Fitness to Practice division. The GMC is seeking to improve its systems for investigating doctors following recent controversy over how mistakes by clinical staff should be assessed.   
  • The PSA’s Human Factors approach to understanding the factors and pressures which can lead to error in healthcare is providing a different perspective to help the GMC consider all aspects of the context.
  • Lord Ribeiro has an interest in global surgery and heard about the PSA’s work in South Africa, using Human Factors to improve safety in surgery in low income countries.
