🆕 New report: How can we improve patient safety across health and care?

Published on 7th July 2025, the Review of Patient Safety Across the Health and Care Landscape highlights the growing complexity and fragmentation of oversight in England’s safety system, with overlapping responsibilities and unclear accountability.

Led by Dr Penny Dash and commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the report reviews the roles of six key organisations and outlines 9 major recommendations for a clearer, more joined-up approach.

📌 Key proposals include:
Strengthening the role of the National Quality Board
Rebuilding the CQC with a sharper remit
Clarifying the roles of HSSIB, NHS Resolution & the Patient Safety Commissioner
Better use of data and digital tools
A national strategy for quality in adult social care

We’ll be bringing the findings and recommendations from this review into discussion at our upcoming safety and quality events.
