As a Patient Safety Partner I feel that working in partnership with patients is essential in reducing harm. In my opinion the sooner "The Framework Part A" is implemented based on NHSE Patient Safety Strategy the better. This should move us away from a Paternalistic Model of Care to a Mutual Participation Model of Care, and then I believe we will see more learning, reduced harm by preventing deterioration of the patient leading to good patient outcomes. I like this article very much, because the patient is truly at the centre of care.
