This comprehensive volume critically examines patient safety in the NHS, discussing both policy initiatives and practical issues with reference to management culture, the legal context and ethical concerns.
The book explores the multiple dimensions of healthcare ethics and safety, tracing the legal landscape’s evolution around patient safety and examining clinical negligence processes and their consequences. Looking forward, it addresses artificial intelligence’s growing influence in healthcare delivery. The text engages with fundamental ethical considerations, including medical professional development and standards, while exploring specialised challenges in psychiatry and end-of-life care. The conclusion synthesises these diverse elements, contextualising UK practices globally and demonstrating how patient safety concerns can transform management culture and enhance risk management approaches in healthcare settings.
Timely and authoritative, this important book will interest students, researchers and professionals across Medicine, Law and Health management.
