A “never event” hit Charing Cross Hospital in May when an invasive line was inserted incorrectly during surgery — thankfully, the patient suffered no harm. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has apologized, implemented new safeguards, and issued a patient safety alert to reinforce infection control and checklist use. A multi-disciplinary review is underway to strengthen safety protocols. This incident surfaced in board papers for the North West London Acute Provider Group, which also reported a £7.8 million shortfall tied to strikes and missed efficiency targets — but noted wins like reduced patient wait times and progress in cancer care.
