Hello Leanne,

Briefly, to complement the WHO website information on the Surgical Safety Checklist, you may find these resources of interest:

- Canadian Patient Safety Institutes' Safer Healthcare Now! program has information and tools for download (free) on the Surgical Safety Checklist

- Here is one on many articles on the Checklist - this one is from the publisher Longwoods and looks at patient safety
           Hayes C. Surgical safety checklist: improved patient safety through effective teamwork. Healthc Q. 2012;15 Spec No:57-62. Available from:                  http://www.longwoods.com/content/22840

- A quick search in PubMed will yield many recent articles on the Checklist as well.

Hope this helps. Plese feel free to contact me if I can assist further.

Afternoon library warriors,

 

I hope this finds you well.

 

I have been asked to see if there is any information on the use of the WHO surgical checklist (or a version of) in A&E or indeed the use of any checklists in A&E  (similar to the WHO surgical checklist).

(I have started a search in HDAS but something odd is happening and I am not sure of the results I am getting back so I am investigating)  but user is after information fairly quickly- hence my request.

 

Is anyone aware of such a checklist?

 

Thanks ever so much.
