You are an FY2 doctor. One of your friends, who is also a doctor at the hospital you work at, has recently completed an audit into falls on their ward. The data they have collected shows that several patients who had been reported to have fallen on the ward were not subsequently reviewed by a member of the medical team, despite it having been documented that it was escalated to them by the nursing staff. They ask you for advice on what to do with the data, as they are worried about getting their colleagues “into trouble”.
