Abstract:
Patient safety is an active field of research in medicine and the driving force behind healthcare policy and practices to ensure the delivery of safe, quality patient care. However, it is a concept in its infancy in the veterinary profession. Veterinary medical error is under reported, poorly understood and inadequately managed with consequences for patients, owners and clinicians. The aim of this thesis is to explore the causes and types of error in veterinary practice and develop solutions to improve patient safety, and by extension quality of care for veterinary patients.

This thesis explored safety culture in a large Australasian construction and mining organisation, with a view to understanding how theory and practice can be integrated to improve safety culture and related outcomes within the industry. The research comprised three studies that investigated the relationship between safety culture, safety motivation, leadership and safety behaviour, and examined differences in perceptions of safety culture across the organisation. Research methodologies and samples included a modified Delphi method with safety leaders (n=41), a quantitative survey with a cross-

Abstract:
This dissertation develops, presents and tests a new international tool, the so-called Road Safety Development Index (RSDI), which indicates in a comprehensive and easy way the severity of the road safety situation in a specific country and/or in comparison with other countries. There are three pillars of outcomes involved in the framework of RSDI. One pillar is the People focus (road user behaviour). The second is the System focus (safer vehicles, safer roads, enforcement, management, etc). The third is the Product focus in terms of accident death rates. This thesis analyses each of these pil

This thesis contains reviews and research on the occupational hazards of zoo veterinary practitioners in Australia.

Abstract:
Risk assessment is essential to ensure safety in hospitals. However, hospitals have paid little attention to risk assessment. Several problems have already been identified in the literature about current risk assessment practice, such as inadequate risk assessment guidance and bias in risk scoring. This research aimed to improve current risk assessment practice in hospitals in the National Health Service (NHS) in England. To address this aim, the research investigated current risk assessment practice and designed a new risk assessment approach by the use of mixed methods. One hundred hospitals

Abstract:
The thesis aims at analyzing the concepts of risk and safety as well as the class of concepts to which they belong, thick concepts, focusing in particular on the normative aspects involved. Essay I analyzes thick concepts, i.e. concepts such as cruelty and kindness that seem to combine descriptive and evaluative features. The traditional account, in which thick concepts are analyzed as the conjunction of a factual description and an evaluation, is criticized. Instead, it is argued that the descriptive and evaluative aspects must be understood as a whole. Furthermore, it is argued that the two

Internationally, there is an emerging interest in the inadvertent harm caused to patients by the provision of healthcare services. Since the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s report, To Err is Human, in 1999, research and policy directives have predominantly focused on patient safety in hospital settings. More recently, the World Health Organization has highlighted 2-3% of primary care encounters result in a patient safety incident. Given around 330 million general practice consultations occur in the UK each year, unsafe primary care is a poorly understood, major threat to public heal

Abstract:
This social learning analysis of Community Safety Partnerships in Scotland will develop two sets of arguments – one empirical and one epistemological. The empirical argument is that the well-documented difficulties in partnership working (largely a result of the very different occupational cultures, structures, roles and functions of the agencies generally brought on board) are not only very much in evidence but that current ways of organising and structuring partnership working in Scotland are also very often not conducive to overcoming them. It will be argued that viewing partnership working

The ward travelled through a transformative and at time turbulent process of resistance an

The literature describes nursing work at the intersection of patient and health care system as well as barriers to providing safe patient care. However, little is known about the systems knowledge nurses use to negotiate the health care system
