Book Description
The introduction of clinical governance gives National Health Service organisations a powerful incentive to focus on serious failures in health care. This report reviews what is known about the scale and nature of these failures, examining the extent to which the NHS has the capacity to learn from them when they do occur, and recommending measures which could help to minimise the likelihood of repeated failures in service in the future. Information was drawn from industry, aviation and academic research.
