Vet Wrap Podcast, Ep 13: Minimising medical error in a surgical team

Medical errors are a nightmare for everyone involved and rarely result from a single person’s mistake. Instead, they often stem from missteps and mishaps that accumulate, leading to an error.

Dr Arthur House and surgical nurse Jess discuss how to reduce medical errors in your surgical team, focusing on the team and the systems in place rather than assigning blame to a single individual.

Correction: In this episode, we mistakenly quoted, “Every year, there are about 50 people who die from intrathecal injection of Vinchristine”. The correct information is actually that there are at least 50 published cases of people dying from intrathecal injection of Vinchristine. We apologise for any confusion.
