Westminster Health Forum: Priorities for improving patient safety in the NHS - strategy and regulation, learning and innovation, and responding to COVID-19

The Westminster Health Forum is a division of Westminster Forum Projects, an impartial and cross-party organisation which has no policy agenda of its own. Forums operated by Westminster Forum Projects enjoy considerable support from within Parliament and Government.

The agenda:

• The impact of investigations in the NHS and the priorities of the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch
• Progress of improving patient safety in the NHS
• Maintaining patient safety during COVID-19 - rapid learning to respond to the virus, continuity of care, and adapting care delivery practices
• Delivering safe care in the NHS - preventing errors, utilising data and technology, supporting the workforce, and promoting high quality leadership
• Learning from the voice of parents and families
• How to improve patient safety by reducing unwarranted variation and learning from clinical negligence claims
• The role of technology in reducing errors, enhancing care, and ensuring safety in remote healthcare and telemedicine
• Taking forward the National Patient Safety Syllabus and supporting the workforce to deliver care safely during the presence of COVID-19
• Learning from harm, reducing the cost of litigation in the NHS, and the impact of COVID-19
• Assessing findings from the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review
• The role of the regulator in reducing avoidable harm and informing future practice
