welearn Wednesday: learning from national reports

May 22, 2023

Each month as part of welearn Wednesdays we present a new learning pack identified as a key learning topic from local serious incidents, investigations, complaints, litigation, or coroner cases. The learning may not have a direct link to your area of work; however, the learning provides an opportunity to reflect on some of the wider issues that could be useful for you to consider.

This month we are taking learning from national reports with a focus on clinical audit, specifically end of life care as this touches every clinician across our organisation. Other reports presented highlight where we will be required to follow national guidance and recommendations such as NHS England’s report on learning from the death of Oliver McGowan and the introduction of mandatory training on learning disability and autism.  The CQC Report highlights its own failings when clinicians raise concerns and how they will manage this in the future.
