We have a lot of "know-how" but we're also human. We make mistakes. And sometimes these mistakes are costly, particularly when lives are at stake.
To ensure we don't forget to do the basics, we need to go back to basics. The humble checklist is free to use and quick to do. It is, quite literally, a lifesaver. In high-pressure, high-risk professions, it's so often ineptitude, rather than ignorance, that leads to error.
This cost-free, simple, but effective tool – the checklist – can help prevent fatal errors or costly oversights. Where in practice could we utilise checklists? - GA induction, regional anaesthesia, recovery, inpatient care! Let get those thinking caps on!
Give the Checklist Manifesto a read - it highlights the importance of checklists in the medical field but also in construction and aviation.

Let’s talk about checklists!! we can utilise checklists in many areas of veterinary practice but we think that one area where it’s a non-negotiable is prior to anaesthetic induction. The AVA have a great anaesthetic safety checklist pre-prepared for you to print or, design your own. 🤩
