Psychological safety is a contemporary concept which refers to an individual's perception of the consequences of taking an interpersonal risk. Such an environment allows individuals to feel comfortable being themselves, expressing concerns, asking questions, and offering innovative ideas without fear of backlash or ridicule. Originally explored by Professor Amy Edmondson of Harvard Business School in the late 1990s, the concept was rooted in the observation that successful teams often made more mistakes than less successful ones, simply because they were more open about discussing and learning from those errors. This insight has gained traction to become an achievable cornerstone of high performing teams, effective leadership, and vibrant organisational cultures in the business world, but has not yet permeated our discipline of medicine.
