The duty of candour and disclosure of investigation reports following serious incidents The Government response to the independent Mazars report into failures by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust to investigate and learn from the deaths of patients (particularly in its older people’s, learning disability and mental health services) has led to a recent announcement that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will be carrying out a review of how NHS trusts identify, report, investigate and learn from deaths of people using their services. A live issue for Providers is the question of whether the duty of candour requires Providers to disclose to relevant persons the investigation reports produced following serious incidents (which will include death of a service user). The statutory duty of candour is set out in regulation 20 of the Health and Social Care (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (as amended) “the 2014 Regulations”. There is also a contractual duty of candour inserted into the NHS Standard Contract (SC35) which incorporates compliance with the obligations contained within regulation 20 of the 2014 Regulations in respect of notifiable safety incidents. Additionally, individual Registrants of the professional regulatory bodies such as the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the General Dental Council (GDC) are subject to a professional duty of candour. Since 1 April 2015 the statutory duty of candour contained within regulation 20 has required all registered Providers to ensure that they act in an open and transparent way with relevant persons’ in relation to care and treatment provided. To comply with regulation 20, in summary, all registered Providers are required to: Tell the relevant person that a notifiable safety incident has occurred and provide support in relation to that incident;
www.airinspace.com
•
•
• • •
•
Provide an account which is true to the best of the Provider’s knowledge, of all the facts known about the incident at the time of notification; Advise the relevant person what further enquiries the Provider believes are appropriate; Provide an apology; Provide this information and the apology in writing and give details of the enquiries to be undertaken and the results of any further enquiries into the incident; Keep a written record of communications with the relevant person.
What is not clear is whether the requirement to provide written notification to relevant persons of the account of the incident and the results of any further enquiries requires disclosure of the full investigation report following a serious incident. That is not explicitly covered by regulation 20 or the related guidance. A reading of the regulation would appear to suggest that correspondence providing a summary of the details of the enquiries and the results of them would suffice. However, NHS Providers must exercise caution in this regard since, in addition to the duty of candour, they are contractually obliged to comply with the requirements for incident reporting set out in the NHS Standard Contract (SC33). This provision of the Standard Contract requires that NHS Providers must comply with the NHS Serious Incident Framework and the Never Events Policy Framework, and

AfPP whole team training – putting the patient at the heart of everything you do but there isn’t a robust safety culture in place, one which is embedded into the practices of the team. This can often allow for small incidents to continually occur without resolution resulting in more serious incidents happening.
Training has serious value if it includes the whole team as this develops a safe environment for colleagues to speak up confidently and sets boundaries to work within. Bespoke human factors education addressing organisation context and culture, designed to include the whole team, provides an opportunity to ensure a full understanding of where processes start and finish, why they may fail through poor communication, poor policies or standards. It also defines why team working is fundamental to ensuring patient safety. AfPP’s mission is to ‘Lead Perioperative Excellence’ and we achieve this by working closely with Trusts to train their staff to reduce problems caused by inconsistent skills, system anomalies and cultural behaviour. We have found that both parties must commit to the project equally to ensure success and it can take a change in thinking for the Trust to allow the required down time in their theatres to ensure everyone is exposed to the training and that implementation of policies, processes and systems become part of everyday life. We often find when invited into a Trust or hospital setting there is evidence to show that common guidelines are in place
Audit and review often show that current practice is not working effectively; therefore things need to be approached differently. The AfPP Whole Team Training is generally bespoke to each hospital or Trust, however, non-technical skills, communication, understanding of roles, the WHO checklist, accountability and responsibility sessions are generally included as these elements are often the problem areas within organisations. For a culture to become embedded and the adoption of the training to be enough to change current clinical customs, the whole team need to be developed in the same way. During the AfPP training sessions learning techniques will be developed to give the whole team strategies to introduce into their clinical environment to help eliminate never events and poor practice. All our training programmes are accredited through our own robust accreditation system and details can be found on our website along with a case study to support the positive outcomes of our training methods. Don’t wait for a major incident to happen in your environment, engage with AfPP to develop ways of working that will help eliminate poor practice and put the patient at the heart of everything you do. Visit our website www.afpp.org.uk/events/AfPPacademy or come and see us on our stand at the Patient First Conference to find out more.

Anyone who has a new idea and wants to change the world will do better by telling stories than by any amount of logical exhortation. We make sense of the world around us through stories - they form a core part of our culture, belief systems, organisations and personal identities; stories gain attention and engage our hearts and minds. Storytelling is about making sense of the world around us, and connecting with people. At Sign up to Safety we are exploring the different ways we can encourage people to learn about how to have an effective conversation that provides the building blocks for creating a safety culture. What we are finding is that purposeful conversations can be transformational for both the storyteller and the listeners. The process of telling the story enables an individual to reflect on the past, the present and future. It allows them to refocus. Importantly it enables people to have a voice. Our role in the campaign is to explore the methods, the ways in which we can help people have that voice and help others to listen. The core principles are to start by asking a volunteer to tell their story; to remember a moment from their life when they stepped

The duty of candour and disclosure of investigation reports following serious incidents t Continued from page 2 must report all Serious Incidents and Never Events in accordance with the requirements of those frameworks. In relation to involving those affected in the investigation of serious incidents, the NHS Serious Incident Framework sets out that those involved must also have access to the necessary information and should: •
•
be given access to the findings of any investigation, including interim findings ; and have an opportunity to respond/ comment on the findings and recommendations outlined in the final report and be assured that this will be considered as part of the quality assurance and closure process undertaken by the commissioner;
This would suggest that investigation reports may require to be disclosed however, the Serious Incident Framework goes on to acknowledge that this
may “disclose confidential personal information for which consent has been obtained, or where patient confidentiality is overridden in the public interest. This should be considered by the organisation’s Caldicott Guardian and confirmed by legal advice, where required.” Issues of patient confidentiality will be particularly relevant here since the definition of ‘those affected’ for the purposes of the Serious Incident Framework appears wider than the definition of ‘relevant persons’ for the purposes of Regulation 20.
t Continued from page 3
We ask people to actively listen and try to embrace the silence. We ask people to allow the storyteller at least 15 minutes to tell their story without interruption. Then we ask people to use open questions (i.e. not
Risk Register compliments RL’s existing patient safety suite, which includes the Risk Surveillance module for proactive risk surveillance. Surveillance can be a labourintensive, manual process where it is necessary to reference multiple systems. With Risk Surveillance, quality departments have the data from multiple systems at their fingertips to proactively monitor for situational risks. Both modules allow quality departments to utilise RL6’s alerts and streamlined workflow to deploy their resources and staff where it counts the most, making informed decisions that can reduce costs.
Peter Askew Regional Sales Vice President, UK and EMEA
Accordingly, pending national guidance from NHS England on this issue which is in development, legal advice on disclosure of investigation reports into serious incidents should be sought on a case by case basis. Meantime providers should continue to ensure that they provide communication to relevant persons in line with their obligations under regulation 20 of the 2014 Regulations.
Why are good conversations so powerful? out of their comfort zone and tackled a problem to make a positive difference in the world. Whether it went well or didn’t we ask them to think about how it made them feel and what impact it had on them. Another story we suggest is to remember when they may have been involved in or witnessed an incident.
New software helps organisations proactively manage quality improvement programs
ones that can end in no, yes or maybe). In our work we have tried this with a number of different groups; large groups of 30 or more, small groups of 10 and even groups of 3 and 4. We use roles such as an ‘observer’ who we ask to find a good example or scenario or metaphor to illustrate what they are hearing. We have also started exploring the use of a person to debrief and capture a record of the story and the insights gained. Patient First is helping us explore this further in November 2016.

RL Solutions, creators of easy-to-use healthcare patient safety and quality software, recently released a new module for enterprise risk management in its RL6 suite. Risk Register, as it is known, is a user-friendly software solution that has been designed to help quality healthcare professionals identify cross-organisational risks, streamline tracking based on international ISO 310002009:Risk Management standards, and support a culture of proactive behaviour. Until now, risk management in healthcare organisations has typically been limited to one or a few departments. Now, quality professionals will not only be able to document, manage, monitor, and mitigate risks more easily, but this shift to enterprisewide risk management will provide them with the comprehensive data they need to affect change. What’s more, mirroring the company’s other products—this module is customisable, giving healthcare organisations the flexibility needed to suit their specific needs. “Risk Register is comprehensive, easy-touse quality improvement software designed to help quality professionals flag potential risks and take the necessary steps to mitigate and proactively address adverse events,” said Mike Etzinger, VP, Marketing, RL Solutions. “Extending risk management across the organisation will help our clients become proactive in the prevention of harm to patients.”

Vanguard Healthcare announces expansion of its fleet to support growing European and domestic demand The leading supplier of Portable Surgical Health Centres has announced that it will be significantly expanding its current fleet in the face of mounting demand. The popularity of temporary clinical facilities has skyrocketed as swelling European populations have begun to put a strain on hospitals across the continent. Vanguard Healthcare operates the world’s largest fleet of portable elective care facilities, with another three state-of-the-art units currently in production. Two of the brand new units will be operational in the British market as early as April – introducing greater flexibility to the health service.
One of these is a laminar flow theatre, Vanguard’s flagship facility, while the other is a ward – which is typically used in combination with the theatre to create a self contained health centre. It is expected that these facilities will be used largely in the UK and Ireland to support acute and community providers. The third unit is also a laminar flow theatre. However whilst featuring the same upgrades to the fit, finish and systems of the other two facilities, this has been designed to be used predominantly in mainland Europe. Construction of this latter unit is expected to finish around June or July. This announcement has quickly followed the introduction of a firstof-its-kind 24 Hour ward unit in November 2015.
Oliver Law, Vanguard’s Director of Operations UK and Europe, made the announcement, stating:
NEW STAGE FOR PATIENT SAFETY COLLABORATIVES AT PATIENT FIRST t Continued from page 1 at Patient First, the AHSN Network Patient Safety Leads will deliver a two day programme to share experiences of providers and commissioners, with sessions from the front line covering everything from leadership and safety culture, to measurement for improvement and building capacity and capability.
‘Vanguard Healthcare is making a substantial investment into new facilities as we continue to supply ondemand clinical capacity to a growing base of partner hospitals across the UK and Europe.
“Patient safety remains at the heart of healthcare,” says Event Director Dan Assor. “Structural, cultural and financial pressures play their part in adding to the challenges brought by a growing – and more elderly – population. But in a postMid Staffordshire era the momentum on improving the quality and safety of healthcare is greater than ever and Patient First brings all stakeholders together to embrace a learning culture.”
In combination with a escalation of our search for talented nursing staff to join our clinical teams; this is a sign of our commitment to helping to bolster the operational resilience of healthcare providers around Europe.’
Alongside the Best Practice Theatre, delegates can access keynote sessions in the Plenary Theatre, learn about technological developments to support patient safety in the Safety through Technology Theatre, and attend a full programme geared towards Infection Prevention and Control in two new dedicated conference theatres.
Join the Vanguard team on board one of their flagship Mobile Laminar Flow Theatres at Patient First, we will be more than happy to give you a personal tour around the facility.
The AHSN Network Patient Safety Collaboratives will be exhibiting on stand M60 alongside over 100 other product and service suppliers and recommend professionals make use of their advisors and supporting information over the two day. Meet the team on stand M60.

HQIP and NQICAN to host dedicated Quality Improvement seminars at Patient First 2016
The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) commissions and manages national quality improvement programmes, including the National Clinical Audit Programme, the Clinical Outcome Review Programmes and the National Joint Registry on behalf of NHS England and other healthcare departments and organisations. HQIP’s vision is to ensure patients and patient representatives are fully involved at all stages of these programmes to help produce robust results and actionable recommendations for better care. NQICAN – the National Quality Improvement and Clinical Audit Network – brings together 13 regional clinical audit/ effectiveness networks and its objectives include providing

a voice for staff working in clinical audit and other quality improvement projects, & influencing key organisations such as HQIP and supporting the development of national clinical audit.
Mid Staffordshire era the momentum on improving the quality and safety of healthcare is greater than ever and Patient First brings all stakeholders together to embrace a learning culture”.
James Thornton, HQIP Communications Lead, says: “Patient First and HQIP share a clear commitment to support clinicians, commissioners, audit staff and patients in measuring and improving healthcare quality. Patient First is the perfect place to showcase our work and that of our delivery partners alongside NQICAN and gain feedback from delegates so we can continue to improve.”
Alongside the Quality Improvement Theatre, delegates can access keynote sessions in the Plenary Theatre, listen to case studies from the AHSN Network’s Best Practice Theatre, learn about technological developments to support patient safety in the Safety through Technology Theatre, and attend a full programme geared towards Infection Prevention & Control in two new dedicated conference theatres.
Co-hosting the new Quality Improvement Theatre at Patient First, HQIP and NQICAN will program a two-day conference to share national and local experiences and explore how our work can further support our stakeholders. “Patient safety remains at the heart of healthcare”, says Event Director Dan Assor. “Structural, cultural and financial pressures play their part in adding to the challenges brought by a growing – and more elderly – population.

Improving discharge from secondary to primary and social care Patient Safety Collaboratives (PSCs) are a national programme to improve the safety of patients and ensure constant learning sits at the heart of healthcare in England. There are 15 local collaboratives covering the same geographical area as each of the 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) PSCs exist to spread best practice, build skills and capability in patient safety and improvement science, and to focus on actions that can make the biggest difference to patients in every part of the country.

Emergency Mental Health? The solution is CLEAR
System, approximately 33 percent of these incidents were associated with issues around communication. These incidents included: • Information about required follow up diagnostic tests not being passed to GPs resulting in them being missed; • Quality of discharge information or failure to receive a discharge letter; and • Failure to refer to primary care or community services, for example district nursing. As this issue cuts right across the health and social care landscape regardless of geography, eight PSCs have collaborated to support their local organisations in improving discharge practice. The PSCs have formed a “Discharge Cluster,” led by East Midlands PSC and with NHS England, NICE and other agencies to pool ideas and resources and to share best practice. In August 2014 NHS England issued a Patient Safety Alert asking health and social care organisations to complete a questionnaire to help form a national picture about barriers to safe discharge. They were also asked to share examples of initiatives and practices that have helped to improve communication on discharge resulting in the development of a suite of case studies. The case studies can be accessed through NHS England’s website and are themed in seven topic areas crucial to improving discharge performance: Patient journeys are full of transitions. Arguably, the most obvious transition is what is often called ‘discharge’ where the patient leaves hospital and returns to a community setting. Transitions are actually much more common than just this. During a hospital admission patients will transition between different clinical teams, wards and departments each requiring a form of handover. As patients age they also transition between care providers, which can raise problems for the continuity of care. It is widely acknowledged that poor discharge practices can result in patient harm and significantly increase the risk of a patient being readmitted to hospital. Problems surrounding the adequate and timely communication of essential information to primary and social care at the time a patient is discharged from hospital has been identified as a particular risk to patient safety. Between October 2012 and September 2013, out of the 10,000 incidents relating to discharge reported to the National Reporting and Learning

A resource library is available alongside the case studies to further support organisations to improve communication between health and social care providers when a patient is discharged from hospital. The resource library contains a range of webinars, guidance, academic papers and reports. The case studies and resource library can be accessed here: www.england.nhs.uk/patientsafety/discharge/ For more information contact the patient safety team at emahsn@nottingham.ac.uk
We are delighted to be hosting two Hospice UK workshops on Tuesday 22nd November alongside Patient First and Infection Prevention & Control as follows: 1.
Patient Safety Quality metrics for hospice inpatient Unit Project Group
In January 2014 Hospice UK (HUK) launched the Inpatient Unit Quality Metrics benchmarking project focusing on three core patient safety metrics; level of harm from falls, pressure ulcers and medication errors. Two years on we have 110 hospices now participating. The true value of this project is the opportunity it affords hospices to share with each other areas local challenges and successes. We are identifying a range of exemplars of great practice for wider learning across the sector. If you are a member we do hope you will come and join us for afternoon of Tuesday 22 November.
2.
Infection prevention & Control Community of Practice
“Infection prevention and control is more than dealing with C.diff and MRSA - it is a core element of practice, intrinsic to high quality patient care.” Rick Catlin, Expert lead for the IPC Community of Practice (CoP). Delivering infection prevention and control (IPC) can be challenging – keeping up to speed with latest research, policies and EU directives and how they impact on the hospice environment. To this end HUK support as vibrant community of practice.
The CoPs four key priorities are: •
providing training and updates on topical and relevant IPC issues
•
providing support and advice to IPC leads
•
developing e-learning resources
•
building a hospice IPC community by offering peer learning and advice
We are inviting all hospice staff with an interest in IPC to come and meet colleagues on the morning of Tuesday 22 November. Please register your place at http://www.patientfirstuk.com/hospice

Unmissable to anyone involved in patient care nationwide! Patient safety. Together, we’ll make it better “The longer I work in this industry, the more I realise that we tend to work in silos. Coming to a show like this is a fantastic way to talk to people across healthcare about safety issues that are common to us all, and to learn from them. It brings together all those with an interest in patient safety.” Will Harrop-Griffiths, Consultant Anaesthetist, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
“This show offers very good variety. It’s important to keep up to date with patient safety and I’ve got that from the talks, but I’ve found the stands to be particularly informative and much more interesting than at other events I’ve been too.” Penelope Smith, Consultant Physician, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
“Everyone has come here for the same thing, so this conference is great for getting information, talking to people, asking questions and getting feedback. A very good event.” Kieran Attreed-James, Quality Innovation Manager, Home Support Services, Essex County Council “The power of the personal stories you get at this show is more valuable than facts and figures you can read on the internet. Nothing beats the dialogue and conversations you can have at conferences like this.” Andrea McGuinness, Safety and Mortality Programme Lead, Advancing Quality Alliance
“This conference is very good for reaffirming what people are doing. It gives them more confidence in their work. Everyone is in the same boat, so it’s a good way of engaging and sharing best practice.”
“This has been a really good event. All of the talks have been useful and I’m learning things that I can embed into our own training back at work.” Tina Jackson, Head of Education, Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Roopen Arya, Professor of Thrombosis and Haemostatis, Director, King’s Thrombosis Centre and Clinical Lead, National VTE Board “There’s a great variety of exhibitors here and I’ve got lots of good information to take back. I’ve been able to pick up some good ideas which we’ll be able to implement, so it’s been a very good show for me.”
“This conference is great for learning, but for me the real value is the opportunity to make connections with industry colleagues. You just can’t do that unless you’re here.” Dr Victoria Brown, Patient Safety Leadership Fellow, Yorkshire and Humber Improvement Academy
Lynne Fuller, Infection Control Prevention & Control Commissioning Lead, Ipswich & East Suffolk CCG and West Suffolk CCG “A good show for getting updates and for learning from people who have first-hand experience. You can get theory from anywhere, but you only really learn from people who are doing real life jobs. The ultra sound training was really useful too.” Ajibola Ihuoma, SpR, Colchester Hospital
