The cases described in this issue of CORESS Feedback emphasise recurrent themes in confidential reporting. Attention is drawn again to the risks of inadvertent dia- thermy activation. Lack of communication underpins the adverse events recounted in three disparate cases. A case contributed by the ophthalmologists underlines the theme of prevention of retained foreign objects, common to all surgical specialties. We are grateful to the clinicians who have provided the material for these reports. The online reporting form is on our website (www.coress.org.uk), which also includes all previous Feedback reports. Published contributions will be acknowledged by a 'Certificate of Contribution', which may be included in the contributor's record of continuing professional development.
