October 2018

Leading nurse and AvMA patron Dame Professor Donna Kinnair talks about AvMA’s vital role in improving patient safety.

AvMA’s independent research into regulation of the duty of candour by the CQC has raised serious concerns.

The recent CQC ‘State of Care’ report 2017/18 paints a worrying picture of the state of health and social care in England today.

Congratulations to Neil Clements, Yvonne Francis and Haemochromatosis UK, who have won the inaugural Patient Safety Learning/AvMA award.

Maria has swum an amazing 40km this year to raise money for AvMA and two other charities.

This month, we helped a caller who was in constant pain since having vaginal mesh inserted in an operation three years ago.
