It is more than halfway through the year and for university staff it is the end of the academic year. Up until now, 2013 has seen care, care interventions, quality of care, and failure of care making the headlines in the general media and health-related publications. Particularly prominent was the publication of the Francis Report (Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, 2013) and, more recently, stories relating to the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.
