This week’s HSJ Health Check podcast looks at the deaths of patients from sepsis, many of them children. These have been flagged by coroners, who are increasingly sounding the alarm about issues that are beyond the ability of individual health systems to solve.

Patient safety correspondent Emily Townsend discusses this and other developing themes in clinical harm with bureau chief Ben Clover.

Meanwhile, after a long legal battle NHS England has released (most of) the contract it signed with a contentious US software firm to provide a large IT system. Joe Talora explores what this means for the NHS and the tech sector that serves it.
