What is Duty of Candour?
No matter which sector you are working in, mistakes are made. That's just human nature, however, since we're dealing with people's lives within the healthcare sector, mistakes must be reported efficiently, accurately and honestly. Take a second to imagine how you would feel if a close family member or a loved one was receiving health care and a mistake was made, you would want to know what's happened regarding their care and what if any, implications have arisen due to the mistake.
Duty of candour also includes near-misses, meaning an event that had the potential to result in a negative situation had things been slightly different. In some cases, investigations may be made into the causes and consequences of the incident, whether that be a near miss or an actual mistake. It is under a proper duty of candour to be as helpful as possible in these investigations, not to falsify the facts, to make sure that as much relevant information has been given as possible. So in summary, duty of candour is the standard that all healthcare professionals should adopt relating to being as open, honest and empathetic with the patient as possible. This runs right through the treatment from when the treatment is first proposed, right through to the end, and especially if any mistakes have been made.
