Risk management in gynaecology

Healthcare providers are obliged to reduce the risk of harm to patients using their services. Robust risk management embraces a blame-free reporting culture and learning from clinical errors whilst adopting a proactive approach to the measurement of patient safety indicators. A good safety culture within an organization provides assurance to service users, staff, the public and other partner organisations, that there is commitment to the provision of high quality safe and effective care. Identification of risk and risk management is not simply the remit of designated individuals within hospitals but is everybody's responsibility.
