Welcome to HSJ Fundamentals of Patient Safety
Patient Safety must be a core organising principle of every NHS organisation. If Patient Safety fails to be at the centre of every decision, whether clinical or managerial, in the NHS, it will be impossible to succeed in the goal of delivering high quality care for all.
But delivering change to practice is an overwhelming challenge. It requires an almost fundamental cultural shift within the NHS, to one of openness, best practice sharing and a continuous commitment to improvement. The patient safety movement has achieved success over the last few years, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
The first step is instilling in every member of every NHS organisation a basic understanding of the principles of patient safety. The Fundamentals of Patient Safety Conference provides this core training to up-skill and build knowledge of everyone in attendance.
Who should attend?
- All those new to their post, including anyone still training e.g. Junior Doctors
- Those whose roles have recently changed
- Anyone requiring an update in the patient safety basics
- Anyone needing better access to patient safety resources
