Moving on from patient safety incidents: a qualitative study exploring GP perspectives in England
Listen to this summary
This qualitative study explores how general practitioners (GPs) in England experience and recover from patient safety incidents (PSIs), aiming to understand the emotional and professional impacts of these events and the support available. Through interviews with 22 GPs, the authors identify themes related to personal consequences, recovery processes, and barriers to healing, highlighting the need for compassionate and structured support systems to foster a psychologically safe environment for learning and recovery. The findings emphasize the reliance on informal strategies for recovery and the importance of organizational factors in shaping GPs' experiences post-PSI.
