PATIENT SAFETY
SECOND EDITION
Charles Vincent, Professor of Clinical Safety Research, Department of Biosurgery & Surgical Technology, Imperial College London, UK
When you are ready to implement measures to improve patient safety, this is the book to consult. Charles Vincent, one of the world's pioneers in patient safety, discusses each and every aspect clearly and compellingly. He reviews the evidence of risks and harms to patients, and he provides practical guidance on implementing safer practices in healthcare.
The second edition puts greater emphasis on this practical side. Examples of team based initiatives show how patient safety can be improved by changing practices, both cultural and technological, throughout whole organisations. Not only does this bene t patients; it also impacts positively on healthcare delivery, with consequent savings in the economy.
Patient Safety has been praised as a gateway to understanding the subject. This second edition is more than that - it is a revelation of the pervading in uence of healthcare errors, and a guide to how these can be overcome.
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION
The rst edition was superb. This sounds even better.
Lucian Leape, Adjunct Professor of Health Policy, Harvard University
This is the one book on patient safety I would take to my desert island to ensure that the health service delivered to me there, by whatever means, minimised the risk of error and harm.
Sir Muir Gray, Chief Knowledge Of cer to the NHS
The beauty of Vincent's book is the unique insight given on the subject by the foremost researcher on patient safety in the UK.
Aneez Esmail, Professor of General Practice, University of Manchester
