This conference provided speakers and delegates with an opportunity to discuss priorities for improving patient safety within the NHS - including safeguarding whistleblowers.
Delegates assessed priorities for the newly formed Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch in dealing with patient safety violations, challenges for developing a standardised approach for reviewing cases of patient death, and the impact of the NHS Improvement’s targets requiring all NHS Trusts to develop a ‘Charter for Openness and Transparency’.
Speakers discussed next steps for reducing the number of avoidable deaths, the impact of 7-day NHS services on patient experience, and prospects for achieving the Health Secretary’s goal of creating a learning culture in the NHS.
