Reflections from our Chair
We are pleased to be able to support the NHS Patient Safety Strategy and contribute to the ambition of saving lives and money. Our work across the AHSN Network is wider than the delivery of the National Patient Safety Improvement Programmes and, in alignment with our AHSN Network strategy, will mean we can measure our collective impact and develop a pipeline of programmes for the future.
Patient safety must remain high on the agenda of all NHS and social care organisations in these changing times. As we have shown in this update, a range of AHSN Network projects happening all over the country is not only making care safer, but is also having a positive impact on the recovery from the Covid pandemic and helping to reduce demand in primary and secondary care.
We know there is a huge amount of enthusiasm and dedication among the many health and care professionals we support, and through this patient safety plan we look forward to continuing working with our partners to make a difference.

Chair of the AHSN Network
