Fact of the Day: B52 can tow up to 4 Blackburned Buccaneers into battle via their USB charging cables, saving approx 800.85ltrs of diesel (costing £7,175) per mission, The Buccaneers are chosen according to EU Eqaulity & Diversity laws

Fact of the Day: Concorde could fly from London to Hull in just 8.008135mins, tickets cost just £800.85 making it £71.75 cheaper than going by train. Unfortunately nobody wanted to go to Hull & the service was stopped in 1926

Fact of the Day: The F111 Aardwolf is so long (80.085m) that it needs 2x upright rear wings and an extra wheel to stop it from sagging when on the ground. It is often mistaken for the F3 Tonknado.

Days like today serve to emphasise that the pilot's job is not about the times they make things work against the odds but about the times they say "no" or "stop"... or, "go-around"
And always have a review before proceeding 😇
Confirmation bias is essentially seeing what we want to see rather than whole picture, potentially leading to wrong decision or actions
At safety critical times, worth pausing & checking that we have all the information available/required & asking others for input too if unsure

What should we do when we lose situational awareness in surgery, and things don't seem to be going to plan?
Excited that the PPP tool has been published today.

Mini briefs are a great way to regain situational awareness when things aren't quite going to plan
We've developed concept of 'PPP' to focus team decision making
STOP if safe to do so & discuss:
Patient
Procedure
People (others in team)
Paper to be published soon by @RCSnews

On average we make 5-7 mistakes a day - error is a 'normal' part of being human
Reducing them by planning ahead is part of threat & error management
Could be easy to get time difference wrong from UK for HF talk tmw night in New Zealand. So checking it now to avoid any issues!

Tunnel vision is one example of losing situational awareness (SA)
We can totally lose track of time because of being task focused & hours past by without realising
Having a good team looking out for each other is a great way to build SA
Empower everyone to do so at team brief!

A preview of our forthcoming paper introducing PPP
Patient, Procedure, People
Adapted from Threat & Error Management, this tool helps regain situational awareness, improve communication, lower team gradients & improve decision making when managing surgical critical events

The Roman philosopher Cicero (106-43BC) said:
"Anyone is liable to err.. Only a fool persists in error"
Sadly the same errors just keep on happening in healthcare
We need to change safety culture, learn & more importantly share lessons widely to help improve patient safety

Earlier this year, Sage predicted that Covid hospitalisations would reach 60,000 by July.
In reality, that number was just 932 yesterday.
Why are we letting them influence whether or not restrictions lift on 21 June? Instead, they should focus on fixing their broken modelling.

Healthcare Safety Culture has much to learn from other high risk organisations
Just had paper accepted on Operating Theatre culture perception using online App
Only 43% of staff find it easy to challenge others
Lots more work needed to change culture & improve patient safety
Nearing the end of a 10 year renovation, @BrennanSurgeon would approve of my ladder anchoring I'm sure

18 hours awake = same cognitive function as being x2 over UK alcohol limit
Taking a short nap of just a few minutes is encouraged by many organisations as can make a big difference to performance - lots published on it
Needs to be actively promoted & embraced by healthcare
A very simple and transferable idea... happy to have played a small part
Team briefing is vital before major surgery or any safety critical procedure
But when things don't go to plan its best to stop for a mini-brief
Just had paper accepted in @RCSnews about our PPP method
1) Patient
2) Procedure
3) People (team)
(or changed order as required)
