LIVE: Media briefing on #COVID19 and other global health issues with @DrTedros twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
For #WorldPatientSafetyDay myself & @PatrickWaterso1 have some thoughts about human factors & maternity. @PatrickWaterso1 is one of the @ClinicalHF Trustees & expert, he’ll be tweeting about systems, here I’ll share reflections about non-technical skills 1/
It’s #WorldPatientSafetyDay In maternity tragedies we hear “teamwork” is the issue. But what is teamwork? I’ve experienced excellent teamwork, learnt about it, trained it, examined others in it & been examined in it myself. But……. 2/
My late wife’s death was when teamwork went badly wrong. I’ve got it wrong myself in the past, every team & situation presents new challenges - but getting it right is priceless 3/

"As you know, WHO’s global targets are to support every country to vaccinate at least 40% of its population by the end of this year, and 70% of the world’s population by the middle of next year"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
@DrTedros "So far just 2 countries in Africa have reached the 40% target, the lowest of any region. That’s not because African countries don’t have the capacity or experience to roll out #COVID19 vaccines. It’s because they've been left behind by the rest of the 🌍"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity
"I would like to start by welcoming the Right Honourable @Jeremy_Hunt, Chair of the @UKParliament’s Health and Social Care Select Committee, and Mr @GuyRyder, Director-General of the @ilo"-@DrTedros #WorldPatientSafetyDay
"For thousands of years, medicine has operated on a simple principle: primum non nocere – first do no harm.
That principle is as true today as in the time of Hippocrates. No one should be harmed while seeking care"-@DrTedros #WorldPatientSafetyDay

Former health secretary @Jeremy_Hunt now speaking at #WorldPatientSafetyDay event. One of his first outings since the Tory leadership campaign.
.@Jeremy_Hunt says he had barely heard of Mid Staffs before he took on the role of health secretary. He says @DavidNichols0n told him 10% of patients are harmed with 150 avoidable deaths a week #WorldPatientSafetyDay
Because death and harm is so common @Jeremy_Hunt questions whether that is why so little is done to improve safety. #WorldPatientSafetyDay
Today is the first ever #WorldPatientSafetyDay.
No one should be harmed in health care.
Yet, every minute, 5 patients die because of unsafe care.
These deaths can be prevented - simple commitment can ensure safe care 🤝
