Whichever setting is worked in, it is important to seek support or help to signpost colleagues that might be recognised as potential second victims. There are also organisations that can help:

• Second Victim Support offers resources that specifically share second victim stories, as well as providing support to second victims, their managers and organisations. The organisation aims to ‘normalise’ errors, enabling learning to minimise individual risk and protect organisational reputation
• Pharmacist Support is a charity supporting current or previous pharmacists, including students and pre-registration pharmacists registered with the GPhC and their families. The charity offers a wealth of information that can be used as a starting point for anyone who has experienced being a second victim and highlights different organisations that can be contacted for further help and support.
