This research demonstrates the value of safety checklists in veterinary surgery. By testing an anaesthesia checklist during student-led procedures, the study found that omitted critical steps were identified in most cases. Adopting checklists can reduce preventable errors, improve surgical safety, and enhance care for animal patients across veterinary practice.

This research explores how personality traits influence patient safety among nurses and midwives in Ireland. Survey findings show that agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness support safer care, while neuroticism may increase risk. The study proposes personality-tailored safety training to improve communication, teamwork, and life-saving performance.
