Cards on the table, poor communication with clients or between colleagues is a big factor most complaints and mistakes. Our #vdsvetsafe Contributory Factor Cards are here to help your team talk about mistakes & run effective mortality & morbidity rounds: bit.ly/VetSafeCards

Practising ‘defensive medicine’ can be one outcome of being involved in a mistake, but there can be wider impacts on how teams and organisations function. Read the NCBI article Defensive Medicine: A Bane to Healthcare bit.ly/NCBIDefensiveMedicine
