Friday 17 September is World Patient Safety Day. The day brings together patients, families, caregivers and health workers to “enhance global understanding of patient safety, increase public engagement in health care safety, and promote global action to prevent and reduce avoidable harm in health care.”
The theme for this year is Safety in Maternal and Newborn Care with a focus on the time of childbirth. . Aqua also launched a new National Patient Safety syllabus with lots of learning opportunities.
To mark the day the Patient Safety Team has launched a new intranet page where staff can access information relating to:
- Reporting incidents and risks
- Complaints
- Serious Incidents
- Mortality and Incident Reviews
- Claims and Inquests
