Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 3 - Episode 8 - Dr Brian King - GP Partner and owner Drumcondra Medical
Q: Can a GP extrapolate data for their own practice, or is data collated nationally?
There is national collation by health authorities, but practices can access their own data via systems like Socrates/HealthONE/Helix for local audits and quality improvement.
Season 3 - Episode 8 - Dr Brian King - GP Partner and owner Drumcondra Medical
Q: Do you have any longitudinal data or computer databases on patient progression, and how has technology affected patient safety in your career?
The patient data is gathered nationally and input from practices is analyzed to show trends; locally, practices use electronic systems to monitor metrics like HbA1c and BP, while technology enables real-time data sharing and patient-specific insights, improving safety and outcomes over time.
Season 3 - Episode 9 - Prof Mike Fray - Professor of Ergonomics and Assisted Performance, Loughborough University
Q: How do you see the NHS handling the balance between leadership, management, and safety expertise in the patient safety specialist role?
There needs to be a distributed leadership model where leaders are responsible for safety processes, with clear governance, and avoid overburdening single roles; the structure should align with safety management principles rather than purely hierarchical control.
Season 3 - Episode 9 - Prof Mike Fray - Professor of Ergonomics and Assisted Performance, Loughborough University
Q: What is the evidence that shifting organizations from reactive incident management towards genuine systems-based safety management has delivered results?
There is early evidence of behavior change and a growing emphasis on systems thinking and safety culture, with ongoing evaluation and data processing from longitudinal studies.
Season 3 - Episode 4 - Dr Sudipto Das - Vice Dean for AI and Digital/Connected health, RCSI - Charter Bonus Episode
Q: What ethical concerns do you have regarding data points from patients?
Concerns include transparency, potential misuse of data, and ensuring patients have control over their own data.
