Read this long, difficult but incredibly balanced and nuanced piece last night. Essential reading for all medics, although perhaps not at the end of a long day on call. Really believe that recognising systems factors does not negate the need for personal ownership of mistakes - but very hard to do

‘All doctors get things wrong. What matters hugely to families in our position is that they have the courage and humility to admit to these mistakes. If they do, it transforms the way you feel about a clinician.’
