It is incumbent on everyone carrying out laboratory work that their experiments should be adequately documented this documentation should go beyond simple description of how the practical work was carried out, but also include notes about the planning of the experiment and the evaluation of the results.

Daily goals, preoperative and post-operative checklists seem mundane, and this partly accounts for clinicians resistance to their use. However, a checklist is not a piece of paper or even a list it is a team intervention which, used well, can affect the wider team functioning, the relationships across professions and hierarchies and even the values and safety culture of the team. To my mind, the impact of these simple tools on clinical processes and patient outcome suggests that their effect can only be fully understood by appreciating their wider impact on team performance.
