We aimed explore patients, families, staff and legal representatives incidents Participants were purposively recruited via (i) communication from four NHS hospital Trusts or an independent national...
There are recognised gaps between evidence and practice in general practice, a setting posing particular implementation challenges. We earlier screened clinical guideline recommendations to derive set of 'high-impact' indicators based upon criteria including potential for significant patient benefit, scope improved amenability measurement using routinely collected data. Here, we explore health professionals' perceived determinants adherence these indicators, examining the degree which were...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between depressive symptoms, burnout and perceptions patient safety. A mediation model proposed whereby association symptoms depression safety mediated by burnout.There is growing interest in healthcare staff care.

Background Whilst patients and families can do support patient safety in several ways, empirical evidence for the specific impact of involvement incident investigations their outcomes, has been limited, with little information about how to undertake meaningfully. Aim We aimed (i) develop a set common principles guide investigations; (ii) working programme theory these might be enacted; (iii) co-design guidance meaningful investigations. Methods synthesised three existing data sets (a...
Interventions that make extensive use of theory tend to have larger effects on behaviour. The Intervention Mapping (IM) framework incorporates into intervention design, implementation and evaluation, was applied the development a community-based childhood obesity prevention for multi-ethnic population.IM as follows: 1) Needs assessment community culture; consideration evidence-base, policy practice; 2) Identification desired outcomes change objectives following identification barriers...

Patients have expressed a growing interest in having easy access to their personal health information, and internationally there has been increasing policy focus on patient care records being more accessible. Limited research from the UK qualitatively explored this topic primary staff perspective. This study aimed understand what think about patients accessing electronic records, highlighting errors providing feedback via online portals.

Background Dissemination of clinical guidelines is necessary but seldom sufficient by itself to ensure the reliable uptake evidence-based practice. There are further challenges in implementing multiple and practice recommendations pressurised environment general Objectives We aimed develop evaluate an implementation package that could be adapted support a range guideline sustainably integrated within systems resources.

Objectives There is growing evidence that patients can provide feedback on the safety of their care. The 44-item Patient Measure Safety (PMOS) was developed for this purpose. While valid and reliable, length questionnaire makes it potentially challenging routine use.
