Why is it so difficult to improve patient safety and learn from harm?

This conference will focus on why it remains so difficult to improve patient safety and learn from harm

Despite huge efforts on the part of healthcare professionals to improve patient safety within the NHS, significant barriers remain. Prominent researchers have argued that it is difficult to ascertain whether patients are any safer, even after the many patient safety campaigns that have been run in the UK and internationally.

This year’s CHFG conference will focus on:

• why, after a number of decades, this problem persists
• the barriers to patient safety improvement
• the possible ways these can be overcome in the future.
