Prof Steve Bolsin Melbourne Stephen Bolsin is famous for something he claims he is not. Sources cite him as the ‘whistle blower’ in the Bristol Paediatric Cardiac Surgery Scandal. He claims he did not “blow the whistle”. He followed the correct routes and told the correct people; but they did nothing. Steve felt compelled to speak out, which led to exile in Australia. The consequences in the UK were cataclysmic. The General Medical Council found the two surgeons and Chief Executive guilty of “serious professional misconduct” and the concept of “Clinical Governance” was coined to ensure such dreadful practice would never occur again in the NHS. Clinical Governance gained global recognition. A Public Inquiry vindicated Dr Bolsin’s actions making 200 recommendations for the NHS. The Royal College of Anaesthesiologists awarded him the Frederic Hewitt Medal for Patient Safety. Steve has since used new technologies to support medical performance and ethical standards, with Palm Pilots to monitor trainees and also allow them to report incidents, electronically. The 98% voluntary incident reporting achieved in Geelong has never been bettered. The trainee’s ethical behaviour was also improved. Healthcare error is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Steve believes doctors must improve healthcare safety to achieve safer and less expensive health care. Reducing healthcare error can reduce the high cost and the medical profession has a key role in addressing the problem through their ethical duty. Achieving this goal requires an evolved ethical approach and behavioural understanding.

Professor Bolsins presented the Bristol Scandal key note lecture.
