The Patient Safety Launch Pad training programme aims to improve patient safety skills in hospitals, GP practices, community services and mental health and care organisations in the region. It was hosted by the South West Academic Health Science Network and Patient Safety Collaborative, sponsored by NHS Improvement, and delivered through regional and national experts in patient safety and quality improvement. In this short video, patient safety leads and those working in healthcare discuss the success of the programme.
There are 15 Academic Health Science Networks, or AHSNs, across England. Together they form the AHSN Network. Find out how they are transforming lives through healthcare innovation in this short animation.
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.
