this is the book to consult. Charles Vincent, one of the world's
pioneers in patient safety, discusses each and every aspect clearly
and compellingly. He reviews the evidence of risks and harms to
patients, and he provides practical guidance on implementing safer
practices in health care.
The second edition puts greater emphasis on this practical side.
Examples of team based initiatives show how patient safety can be
improved by changing practices, both cultural and technological,
throughout whole organisations. Not only does this benefit
patients; it also impacts positively on health care delivery, with
consequent savings in the economy.
Patient Safety has been praised as a gateway to
understanding the subject. This second edition is more than that
- it is a revelation of the pervading influence of health
care errors, and a guide to how these can be overcome.
"... The beauty of this book is that it describes the complexity
of patient safety in a simple coherent way and captures the breadth
of issues that encompass this fascinating field. The author
provides numerous ways in which the reader can take this subject
further with links to the international world of patient safety and
evidence based research... One of the most difficult aspects of
patient safety is that of implementation of safer practices and
sustained change. Charles Vincent, through this book,
provides all who read it clear examples to help with these
challenges" From a review in Hospital Medicine by Dr Suzette
Woodward, Director of Patient Safety.

"Therefore I believe that this book should be read by
anyone involved in, or responsible for healthcare."
(Bulletin Royal College of Path, 1 July 2011)
"This is a superb book. I can strongly recommend it to all
doctors, to medical students, to other clinical staff and to
managers who have to try and make sense of the chaotic complexity
of healthcare. The author's expertise is demonstrated throughout,
and his examples are drawn from UK, American, European healthcare
systems, with appropriate comparison across to other industries
where they are useful." (href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2ACLHSG57PAL2/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp">Dr.

"This book is a tremendous asset in advancing the field of
patient safety. The book is well-referenced and current and
provides a comprehensive yet very readable summary of patient
safety. It will serve well anyone who is involved in patient care.
In describing this book, the words, "expert", "indispensable", and
"worthwhile" come to mind. This is a significant update of the
previous edition." (Doody's, 7 October 2011)
"The sections on 'designing out' hospital acquired
infection are helpful for infection control staff and architects.
Prescribers and pharmacists benefit from seeing how IT can reduce
medication errors". (ENT & Audiology News, 1 July 2011)"This
book is an outstanding comprehensive overview an summary of the key
issues relating to patient safety, as one might hope and expect
from one of the leading international experts and researchers in
this field." (Casebook, 1 May 2011)
"I would recommend this book to all occupational health
professionals working in health care, particularly those who sit on
clinical risk, infection prevention control or health and safety
committees." (Occupational Medicine, 4 June 2011)
"This book is highly recommended or anyone in health care with
an interest in patient safety. Every practitioner will get
something from it." (The Association For Perioperative Practice, 1
March 2011)
"This book is directed to those involved in health care and
patient safety. It can be used in the classroom setting to
illustrate human error and correction methods to provide a safer
patient experience. In the institutional setting, this text would
be a useful addition to the medical library, as well as personal
libraries of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, or other health-care
providers interested in patient safety."
(The Journal of Pharmacy Technology, 1 March 2011)"This book is
essential reading for everyone in health care, but in particular it
is a must read for those starting out, training to be the future
doctors, nurses, managers and other health-care practitioners."
(British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 1 January 2011)
"The first edition was superb. This sounds even better."
--Lucian Leape, Adjunct Professor of Health Policy,
Harvard University
"This is the one book on patient safety I would take to my
desert island to ensure that the health service delivered to me
there, by whatever means, minimised the risk of error and
harm."
--Sir Muir Gray, Chief Knowledge Officer to the NHS
"The beauty of Vincent's book is the unique insight given on the
subject by the foremost researcher on patient safety in the
UK."
--Aneez Esmail, Professor of General Practice,
University of Manchester
"Patient Safety by Charles Vincent is a wise, balanced,
insightful and motivating overview. I should have read it
earlier"
