Listening to patients, carers and staff, learning from what they say when things go wrong and taking action to improve patients’ safety.
East Cheshire NHS Trust is taking part in Sign up to Safety - a national campaign with the ambition of making the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world. The campaign plans to do this by creating a system devoted to continuous learning and improvement.
Sign up to Safety, which is run by NHS England, aims to deliver harm-free care for every patient, every time, everywhere. It champions openness and honesty and supports everyone to improve the safety of patients.
Sign up to Safety’s three-year objective is to reduce avoidable harm by 50% and save 6,000 lives.
