The Importance of Understanding ‘Learning’ in Patient Safety

Patient safety is a critical aspect of the healthcare system that has received significant attention in recent years. It is fundamental to providing high-quality, effective and efficient care, improving patient outcomes, and preventing adverse events. It is also an essential factor for building trust between patients and healthcare providers. 

That's why it is crucial for healthcare organisations and professionals to understand the various concepts and practices that contribute to overall patient safety. And therein comes the concept of 'learning'.

App to access new Clinical Practice Guidelines in Obstetrics and Gynaecology launches today!

MEG is delighted to announce the new suite of Clinical Practice Guidelines in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Ireland) are now available to access on our app from today. 

The National Clinical Practice Guidelines are the result of an ambitious programme of work agreed between the National Women and Infants Health Programme (NWIHP) and the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (IOG) of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.

Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements, based on a thorough evaluation of the evidence, to assist practitioner and service users’ decisions about appropriate healthcare for specific clinical circumstances across the entire clinical system.  

The guidelines were a key recommendation from the National Maternity Strategy and aim to provide guidance and standards for improving the quality, safety and cost effectiveness of healthcare.


At MEG, we were delighted to work with the Guideline Programme Team led by Professor Keelin O’Donoghue and supported by Programme Manager Ms Nicolai Murphy, to make the guidelines content available for download on MEG’s (Clinical Guidelines) app.


The MEG app is an efficient way to deliver guidelines, protocols, and clinical practice guides ensuring all staff have instant access to them from their mobile devices whenever and wherever they need to. Access to such information at the point of care is crucial to guarantee safe and effective medical practices.

The initial guidelines launching today are;

  • Assessment and Management of Postmenopausal Bleeding

  • Assessment and Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women

  • Diagnosis and Management of Placenta Accreta Spectrum

  • Diagnosis and Management of Mesh Complications

  • National Clinical Practice Guideline: Recurrent Miscarriage

  • Investigation and Management of Complications of Early Termination of Pregnancy

  • Prevention and Management of Primary Postpartum Haemorrhage

  • Diagnosis and Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

  • Prevention of early onset Group B Streptococcal disease in term infants

  • Stillbirth - Prevention, Investigation, Management and Care

  • The Fetal Anatomy Ultrasound

Key features of the MEG app include: Quick Search, Bookmarking, Offline Access and Version Control, not to mention that it works seamlessly with our Audits and Risk Management modules.

Download the MEG eGuides app for free from either Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store and select the National Womens and Infants Health Programme from the the list to access the new national guidelines. Click on an image below to reach the relevant app store listing:
