Implementing the National Patient Safety Syllabus: Facilitators’ guide for an organisational readiness self-assessment tool

Summary

In July 2019, NHS England and NHS Improvement launched the NHS National Patient Safety Strategy. A key element of this is the development and implementation of a patient safety syllabus, which was created by Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) based on a proactive approach to the prevention of harm.

UCLPartners is working in partnership with the Chartered Institute for Ergonomics and Human Factors’ (CIEHF) Lantern Group to support Trusts across London to assess their readiness to implement the syllabus through the development of an organisational self-assessment tool. This work has been commissioned by Health Education England (HEE).

The organisational self-assessment tool has been developed alongside a Facilitator’s Guide.
