Dear colleagues,
In November 2023, BMJ Quality and safety published a research paper analysing patient safety in remote primary care consultations. The research conducted by an Oxford University research team, utilised data from NHS bodies, including NHS Resolution, NHS England and the Health Safety Science Investigation Bureau (HSSIB), to triangulate patient outcomes and identify where many of the risks lie in the remote delivery of primary care services.
The paper provides clear practical steps for clinicians, organisations and patients to make remote consultations in primary care even safer.
On 27 March 2024 at 12:30-14:00, NHS Resolution will be hosting a free virtual forum where you can join us to hear about the findings, directly from the lead researcher and lead reviewer , Dr Rebecca Payne and Professor Trisha Greenhalgh.
This event is likely to be of interest to all clinical and non-clinical primary care professionals involved in front-line patient care and those who are involved in commissioning and setting up remote consultations.
Therefore, please feel free to share this email and flyer with clinical, operational, legal, risk, patient safety and quality improvement colleagues at all levels within your networks.

Safety & learning team
