The document discusses patient safety leadership walkrounds, which involve senior hospital leaders meeting with frontline staff to discuss safety issues. Walkrounds were developed in 1999 and aim to demonstrate leadership's commitment to safety while gaining unfiltered feedback. Previous walkrounds in Wales identified concerns about incident reporting forms, transfer information and equipment supplies. The health board plans to provide training and define processes to make future walkrounds more effective in identifying and addressing safety issues.
