N2 - Clinicians manage to maintain patients safely the vast majority of the time (Hollnagel, Braithwaite and Wears, 2013). This is a remarkable feat of resilience considering the complexity and uncertainty to be negotiated every day (Braithwaite et al., 2013). Each and every clinical encounter lies at a nexus of constantly shifting combinations of factors. Personalities and histories, hopes and expectations, policy and resource constraints, disease and pathology, bodies and body parts, diagnosis and treatment, equipment and space, professional allegiances and disciplinary knowledge swirl around, coming together and dispersing as events unfold.
