Programme co-developed with:
The Patient Safety Strategy was designed around an ethos of learning and acting when things go wrong. The ambition is to make the NHS the safest system in the world to receive healthcare and it is thought that the implementation of the strategy could save nearly 1000 extra lives per year from 2023/24, whilst saving £100 million in care costs.
One year on and the first annual progress report has been published. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, improvements have been made against the ambitions laid out in the strategy. Although the virus has impacted the strategy's pace of implementation, the patient safety incident management system (PSIMS) is scheduled to be rolled-out in early 2021, progress has been made towards involving patients and carers in their own safety; as well as integrating digital technology and embedding patient safety in education across NHS settings.
Delegates will take away the following benefits of attending this face-to-face conference:
Helen is an experienced leader in organisational effectiveness and transformational change. She has held healthcare leadership roles globally with the World Health Organisation(WHO) where she led the global 'Patients for Patient Safety' programme and in the UK, where she serves as Chief Executive of the National Patient Safety Agency. Helen has also held leadership positions at the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Parliamentary Health Services Ombudsman and the Charity Commission. Her passion for improved patient safety is informed by personal family insight into the impact of unsafe care and the ineffectiveness of organisational responses to learn from error.
This presentation will give an overview of the 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSN) and Patient Safety Collaboratives (PSCs) roles as important delivery agents of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy, covering:
The Patient Safety Academy has been formed from collaboration between two research groups in the University of Oxford, with expertise in patient safety, human factors/ergonomics and improvement science; the Quality, Reliability, Safety and Teamwork Unit (QRSTU) and Oxford Simulation Teaching and Research (OxSTaR) Project involves provision of human factors patient safety training to all team members involved in a project. The PSA team provide support which enables the staff to choose the areas of concern they want to focus on, work together to generate potential solutions and then trial these solutions. The result is staff–led projects with improvements which fit their service and with successes and learning they can share with other teams.

The New Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) will support the NHS to operate systems, underpinned by behaviours, decisions and actions, that assist learning and improvement, and allow organisations to examine incidents openly without fear of inappropriate sanction, support those affected and improve services.

Patient safety should be a thread of learning that connects all staff working in the NHS, across all disciplines, from apprentice and undergraduate right through to retirement. The NHS cannot expect to achieve improvements in patient safety if it is not embedded within education curriculums and training.

Although healthcare systems differ from country to country, improving patient safety encounters similar challenges. The NHS can benefit from discovering successful practices from elsewhere in the world and learn from what has not worked so well.
