Healthcare employees who have experienced a significant personal or professional impact as a result of a patient safety incident can be referred to as a ‘Second Victim’.
To help minimise the ‘Second Victim’ experience, we devised the ‘Second Victim website’, which is a rich resource to support individuals, teams and organisations, based on our extensive research to date.
The ‘Second Victim website’ is currently endorsed by 22 national organisations, including the BMA, Royal College of General Practitioners, Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, Royal College of Anaesthetists and Emergency Medicine, Unison and NHS Practitioner Health. To date, the site has had 77,800 total views with an international reach.
