If NHS organisations don't learn when things go wrong, there can be devastating consequences for both staff and patients & families. Join me next week to hear more about learning from serious incidents in mental health services.
Failings in healthcare can have tragic consequences. We must learn from them & make the #NHS safer for patients & staff. @K_Eisenstein will share learning from PHSO's work on deaths in #MentalHealth care at this @HCUK_Clare event on 21/04: ow.ly/hANu50DIuab #CQCDeathsReview
