Patient safety regulation in the NHS: mapping the regulatory landscape of healthcare

Summary

This research project from Oikonomou et al. sought to map out the regulatory landscape for patient safety in the English NHS. Results were published in BMJ Open.

Content

This mapping revealed over 126 organisations who exert some regulatory influence on NHS provider organisations in addition to 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups. The majority of these organisations set standards and collect data from provider organisations and a considerable number carry out investigations. The variability in approach and overlapping functions suggest that there is no overall integrated regulatory approach.
