Key messages

• Learn from the past – press the pause button, what did you do well, what could have been done better

• Plan for the next three to five years • Focus on a few things well • Cross boundaries – cross care settings – don’t

work in isolation • Commit to sharing and learning from each other • We are all the campaign

Next Steps

Activities • Facilitated debriefing events to create learning

• Using a stakeholder advisory group made up of front line

workers and safety leads to help shape the campaign

• Sign posting to best practice resources and guides

• Developing small topic based networks, regional networks and national networks for sharing ideas and creating opportunities for learning and sharing with each other

• Supporting the Patient Safety Collaboratives (PSC)

Widening participation and membership

• Encouraging more organisations to sign up

• Providing a vision, and mechanism for individual staff members to sign up and engage with the campaign

• Motivating and energising existing participants through a communications strategy

• Increase spread across care settings

Developing Safety Improvement Plans • Support the development of local safety improvement plans (for all participants) to allow people to

work on the things that matter to them

• Helping organisations create their plans through sharing of examples and encouraging the use of best practice techniques

• Profiling the plans to identify who is working on what and providing intelligence to the PSCs

• Providing opportunities to network and connect based on themes, to foster grass-roots led support for implementation

• Ensuring ongoing implementation of the plans

• Helping organisations and providing intelligence for the patient safety collaboratives to help them deliver against the ambitions of stated safety improvement plans

• Encourage those trusts that already have a quality / safety programme to review this to ensure they are on the right track, have taken into account past lessons from implementing safer practices and have reviewed their harm data

• Encourage people to focus on a few things and fix them – with an emphasis on sustainability. However, we are not dictating what people work on or how many priorities [we consider they should focus on between 1 and 5 areas of harm]
