Abstract

Using an electronic questionnaire, we tested the effectiveness of professional networks for distributing a National Patient Safety Agency Safer Practice Notice, 'Reducing the risk of retained throat packs after surgery', issued in April 2009. Using professional networks for the targeted distribution of guidance to specific professional groups was found to be effective.
