abstract: AWARENESS OF issues relating to patient safety among healthcare professionals and patients, including those who have suffered harm, is growing. This is in part because of how quickly the media report cases, often involving injury, compensation and infection, in which things have gone wrong, but it is worth remembering that, when patients experience harm, staff are also affected.
