Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#320 Dental Anesthesia Safety Gaps, PART 1
Q: To get us started today, can you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your anesthesia training career and your current role? And how did you become interested in pediatric anesthesia as a focus for your practice?
Dr. Rita Agarwal shares her path from neurology to anesthesia, describing how a pivotal pediatric rotation steered her toward pediatric anesthesia and a lifelong focus on patient safety, especially during dental procedures.
#322 Designing Safer Anesthesia
Q: If you could introduce yourself and tell us a little about your anesthesia training career and current role, what would you highlight?
I discuss my path through medical school and specialty training, becoming a full-time staff anesthetist in a public hospital, and discovering a passion for teaching that led to ABCs of Anesthesia and related educational initiatives.
#316 Safer C-Section Pain Control Revisited, PART 1
Q: Nice. Well, since this is the Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast, we'd also like to start the conversation off about patient safety. What got you interested in patient safety in your practice?
Dr. Landau explains that foundational leaders in patient safety, along with early adoption of labeling syringes and creating a culture that treats medical errors as learning opportunities, shaped her approach to safety in anesthesia, especially in obstetrics.
#325 APSF Podcast Takeover: The HSSIB with CEO Dr. Rosie Benneyworth From The Medical Safety Podcast
Q: How do you balance national learning with local accountability and avoid blame?
By using protected disclosures, no naming of individuals or trusts in reports, a focus on systems and learning, and a commitment to change that can be implemented widely, not just in one place, while protecting staff whistleblowers and fostering a culture of openness.
#325 APSF Podcast Takeover: The HSSIB with CEO Dr. Rosie Benneyworth From The Medical Safety Podcast
Q: What was the inciting history behind creating such a body, and how did the idea evolve?
The concept grew after the Mid Staffordshire scandal and public inquiries across health and safety spaces, drawing inspiration from aviation and rail investigations to establish a national body capable of rapid, expert inquiries that can lead to systemic improvements rather than ad hoc inquiries.
