To identify barriers to disclosing medical errors 2. To understand the role of disclosure in patient safety 3. To explore differences in practice between our European colleagues But first some tennis… Unforced errors –Wimbledon 2012 • First round: Fed vs Albert Ramos, 10 ‐ 21 • Second round: Fed vs Fabio Fognini 8 ‐ 12 • Third round: Fed vs Julien Benneteau 29 –32 • Fourth round: Fed vs Xavier Malisse 18 –21 • Quarter final: Fed vs Mikhail Youzhny 13 ‐ 20 • Semi‐final: Fed vs Novak Djokovic 10 ‐ 21 • Final: Federer vs Andy Murray 38 –25 TOTAL: 126 unforced errors!

The patient was going to die anyway.” • "Telling the family about the error will only make them feel worse.” • "It was the patient's fault.
