World patient safety day: 17 September

September 13, 2019

As you may be aware, Tuesday 17 September is world patient safety day. The day aims to raise awareness of patient safety and urge people to show their commitment to making healthcare safer. This would include speaking up about anything you believe could cause potential or real harm to our patients.

There are a range of ways to speak up if you have a concern about safety at work which includes completing a Speak Up Day promise by following the link. https://connect2.swbh.nhs.uk/communications/speak-up-day/
