“…Other studies suggest that during such educational endeavors it is important to provide a context where mistakes can be made and a learning culture is promoted (Dyre et al, 2017). This indicates that it is important to teach students how to embrace error from the start of their medical training and this may be integrated into the curriculum (Conn, 2018).…”

Practicing a "safe" disclosure of adverse events remains challenging for healthcare professionals. In addition, knowledge on how to deliver a disclosure is still limited. This review focuses on how disclosure communication may be practiced based on the perspectives of patients and healthcare professionals. Empirical studies conducted between September 2008 and October 2019 were included from the databases PubMed, Web of Science and Psychinfo. After full text analysis and quality appraisal this scoping review included a total of 23 studies out of 2537 studies. As a first step, the needs of patients and the challenges of healthcare professionals with the practice of providing an effective disclosure were extracted from the empirical literature. Based on these findings, the review demonstrates that specific disclosure communication strategies on the level of interpersonal skills, organization, and supportive factors may facilitate healthcare professionals to provide optimal disclosure of adverse events. These may be relevant to provide patients with a tailored approach that accompanies their preferences for information and recognition. In conclusion, healthcare professionals may need training in interpersonal (verbal and nonverbal) communication skills. Furthermore, it is important to develop an open (organizational) culture that supports the communication of adverse events and disclosure as a standard practice.

“…Richard Conn ' s recent In Brief article explores the ability of the embracing of error to provide psychological relief and foster greater cultural transparency between patients and other health care professionals. 1 Despite these merits, I am not entirely convinced I will feel as secure in disclosure and refl ection once qualifi ed. This insecurity stems from the highprofi le case in the UK of Hadiza Bawa-Garba, a paediatrician convicted of gross negligence and manslaughter.…”
