		<itunes:summary>Site sponsors, Brenmoor went to visit Dr Rick Jones in Leeds. Dr Jones is an expert in Chemical Pathology and Immunology and in the first of our series of video questions he was asked for his thoughts on the recent NPSA report on patient wristbands.



The NPSA report is a real landmark report. It finally recognizes the importance of wristbands both for hospital efficiency and for patient safety. Itrsquo;s become very clear that the quality of wristbands on patients in hospitals is very low quality and that leads to lots of problems with misidentification and inefficiencies in laboratories and unless we get that problem sorted out, we are actually putting patients lives at risk.

Brenmoor would like to thank Dr Jones and all his staff for giving over the time to help in the production of these short films.</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[The NPSA released their long awaited document on wristbanding patients in 2007.
On publication the NPSA said “Wristbands are used to identify hospital inpatients. Over the 12 month period February 2006 to January 2007, the NPSA received 24,382 reports of patients being mismatched to their care. It is estimated that more than 2,900 of these patient [...]]]></description>
