“…6 Further discourse suggests that healthcare systems are not yet on par with other high risk/safety-critical industries, such as commercial aviation, nuclear technology and the marine, oil and gas industries. 6,7,8 It is worthy to note that these industries are often perceived to be riskier than healthcare -in fact, in healthcare there is a 1 in 300 chance of being 'harmed'; whereas in commercial plane travel, it is 1 in a million. 4 Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that practices across these industries (including healthcare) can range from totally routine to entirely unpredictable.…”

Background In the UK, estimates suggest that approximately 10% of hospital admissions and 1–2% of primary care consultations result in some sort of adverse event. Globally, medication errors cost approximately US$42 billion annually, and 15% of total health spending in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries is used to deal with adverse events. Method Stemming from the Glasgow 2019 British Medical Journal and Institute for Healthcare Improvement International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare (‘People Make Change’), a review of workforce characteristics, the psychology of change and design thinking in healthcare is presented. The concept of personalised care is also discussed. Conclusion In the last decade, the National Health Service in Scotland has undergone major reform around the integration of health and social care. In tandem with this, there have been a range of national initiatives to support patient safety and quality improvement. Moving forward, there is an increasing realisation of how service design, digital technologies and a national digitised infrastructure can improve services. Implications highlight the role of workforce development and in embedding design thinking in service organisation. This review article therefore presents an anthology of highlights and perspectives in improving healthcare quality and patient safety.
