Frailty represents a major and growing burden on the healthcare system, with the potential to derail efforts to innovate and reform the NHS in line with the 10-year plan.

pp. 1–3  Brown, Craig

Staff speaking up about patient safety concerns is crucial to improving care and learning from mistakes. Poor management responses to speaking up can result in missed opportunities to prevent harm and hinder staff learning. This scoping review explored the literature on managers' responses to staff-raised patient safety concerns in the NHS, identifying key factors that influence these responses and suggesting strategies for improvement.
