Every healthcare professional must be open and honest with patients when something that goes wrong with their treatment or care causes, or has the potential to cause, harm or distress.

Healthcare professionals must also be open and honest with their colleagues, employers and relevant organisation and take part in reviews and investigations when requested. They must also be open and honest with their regulators, raising concerns where appropriate. They must support and encourage each other to be open and honest, and not stop someone from raising concern.

Excellent progress has been made in respect of quality and performance improvement at Mid Essex Hospitals over the last 3 years, and these achievements have resulted in the Trust being recognised as one of the top performing District General Hospitals in the East of England and the Midlands.
