This editorial follows on nicely from recent posts focusing on clinical debriefing. It raises some areas to focus on future research in the field of debriefing around the cultural and psychological aspects. The cultural aspects include the differences across sub-cultures within healthcare, such as accomodatring differing priorities and challenges within departments, specialities, and regional such as rural to metropolitan. The implementation drivers and challenges to generate learning from debriefing in everyday practice also provide learning and research opportunity.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
