‘Whatever your experience, whether you’re working in healthcare already, maybe thinking about a career in healthcare, or simply an interested bystander, this book will change what you do, in your work, and in your life.’
Captain Martin Bromiley OBE, Airline Pilot and Founder of the Clinical Human Factors Group
Healthcare is full of brilliant, dedicated people but the conditions we work in often mean we fall short of the care we want to give. Mistakes aren’t usually the result of bad individuals; they are the predictable outcome of poorly designed systems and cultures that don’t make safety easy. When staff don’t feel supported or listened to, it is almost impossible for them to deliver safe care.
This book was written for the entire multidisciplinary team―doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, managers, educators, students, indeed anyone and everyone involved in delivering or improving care―and is an essential guide to recognising the human and organisational factors that shape our actions and learning how to do better. It draws a straight line from staff well-being and psychological safety, connecting these directly to the techniques needed to deliver safe and effective patient care.
Practical and accessible, and sometimes light-hearted, this book focuses on real clinical stories, reflections from the frontline and a healthy dose of honesty about how tough healthcare can be for staff and patients. It’s also packed with simple, doable changes that anyone can implement, whatever your role or seniority. From improving communication, reducing error or learning how to speak up, these are tools you can start using tomorrow to make care safer for both staff and patients.
If you’re fed up with tick boxes, jargon or lip-service to safety, and you want something to make things better and effect real change, this is the book for you.

About the Author
Professor Rob Galloway is an Emergency Medicine Consultant at University Hospitals Sussex and Honorary Clinical Professor at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. He is dual-trained in Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care Medicine, though now works exclusively in the Emergency Department―largely because his attention span is better suited to the pace and unpredictability of A&E. For over 15 years, he has delivered nationally recognised Human Factors training and is an Ambassador for the Clinical Human Factors Group. He has led multiple projects to improve patient safety, including the development of widely used clinical prompt cards, and is the Medical Lead for HealthRota, an electronic rostering system designed to improve both safety and staff well-being. He also serves as medical advisor to Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club and is a columnist for the Daily Mail, helping to translate complex medical issues for a broader public audience. Under the pseudonym Dr Nick Edwards, he is the author of In Stitches: The Highs and Lows of Life as an A&E Doctor which shows an honest insight into life on the NHS frontline. He has co-written textbooks on critical appraisal as well as numerous research papers. He was once named one of the HSJ’s wildcard top ten most influential people in the NHS―though has had virtually no influence since―and was made a Member of the Order of St John, although he suspects the Queen was probably misinformed when bestowing this award.
Miss Eleanor Crossley is currently an ST7 Specialist Registrar in Otolaryngology in the South London Deanery and was the President of the Association of Otolaryngologists in Training (AOT) in 2024–25. She graduated from the University of Birmingham Medical School, where she also completed a BMedSci Intercalated degree in Public Health and Population Sciences. She continues her involvement in various research projects and medical education and has a long-standing interest in global health and charity work.
Dr Mitul Patel is an Anaesthetic Registrar in South London with interests in medical education and multidisciplinary simulation-based teaching.
Dr Chloe Rutherfoord is a Paediatric Registrar in the Department of Paediatrics at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, Brighton.
Melanie Whitfield is a Registered Midwife in the NHS with over 25 years’ experience in clinical care, including more than 10 years in senior leadership roles at Trust-wide level. In 2023, Melanie completed her fellowship with the internationally recognised Patient Safety Movement Foundation. She also holds a Master’s degree in Patient Safety and is a recognized leader in patient safety, clinical governance and risk management. Melanie currently holds the roles of Associate Director of Patient Safety, Clinical Governance and Risk Management and Trust Patient Safety Specialist at an NHS Trust in southwest London. Melanie is committed to fostering a culture of constructive challenge, promoting reflective learning, and creating safe spaces for honest dialogue, improvement and continuous learning. She works alongside clinical teams to co-design patient-centred care, placing patients, families and caregivers as active partners in improving safety and quality in healthcare. Melanie is passionate about growing a culture where patient safety is everyone’s business.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
