3. ‘Human’ error is often quoted as the cause of mistakes but what does this mean? Psychological factors as well as physiological issues play a part, think ‘HALT’ to self check and protect Patient Safety: Hungry, Angry, Late, Tired bit.ly/VDS_VetSafe

This pic from a race organiser, but equally relevant to work! Def agree that the phrase “but it’s always been done like that...” is just awful to hear in practice 🙄 Challenge, innovate, improve!

The best thing I saw today on the covid wards was a redeployed senior surgical consultant who had covered his job title on his badge and written "FY1 Doctor"
Refused to tell me what his actual specialty was when I asked because "it's irrelevant now" #humility101

A good read for anyone involved in clinical research design (as is the paper in the same edition which highlights the inconsistent and inappropriate use of the term "pilot study" in veterinary literature).
This week we publish a useful guide on how to design the best animal study, including experimental design, power analysis and what statistical tests to apply. Read for free here veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/con…

THINK PIECE
“The further away from uni I get, the more I realise that their job was not to teach me how to do my job, it was to teach me how to think so I could learn to do my job. They can’t possibly teach you every presentation of every disease
