Vet Rec. 2016 Dec 3;179(22):559-560. doi: 10.1136/vr.i6412.

Abstract

The value of checklists as a means of overcoming human error in both veterinary and medical practice was discussed during the BVA Congress at the London Vet Show last month. Speakers explained that, while checklists are not the answer to everything, there is good evidence to support their use. Kathryn Clark reports.
