As clinicians, we're all taught that patient safety is everyone's responsibility - but on the ground it can be hard to know how to most effectively report concerns, especially if you're not sure how those concerns will be received.

In this episode of Doctor Informed, Clara Munro is joined by Ayisha Ashmore, and they ask "who is actually responsible for patient safety?"

To answer that we're joined by 2 guests
