Morbidity and mortality meetings to improve patient safety: a survey of 109 consultant surgeons in London, United Kingdom.

Conclusions: Many surgeons in London do not routinely attend M&M meetings, despite these occurring within 'protected time'. There may be a willingness to talk openly about complications, though there exists a fear of litigation. The nature, content and learning potential of such open M&M discussions should be explored in future research.
