AbstractAn error in the administration of an anaesthetic medication related to an automated dispensing cabinet resulted in a patient fatality and a highly publicised criminal prosecution of a healthcare worker, which concluded in 2022. Urgent action is required to re-engineer systems and workflows to prevent such errors. Exhortation, blame, and criminal prosecution are unlikely to advance the cause of patient safety.Copyright © 2022 British Journal of Anaesthesia. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
