The Department has an interest in examining the multiple factors that contribute to medical mistakes and how mistakes inform the system of health care. Understanding the hospital environment and how it impacts on junior doctors is crucial for this investigation. The Department is also interested in identifying risk factors and behaviours for doctors who are struck off the medical register for professional misconduct. Isolating major risk factors will inform regulators and professional colleges about prevention strategies. Another interest within the Department relates to the ethical obligation to find effective ways of educating patients about health choices.
