Campaigns to reduce harm and save lives in the NHS are to be launched. The campaigns will bring diverse elements of the NHS together for a common purpose, and it will draw together the lessons learnt from a number of national and international initiatives.
The Welsh and English National Patient Safety Campaigns are to be launched in April and July 2008 respectively. In Wales, the 1000 Lives Campaign is the engine driving the improvements in patient safety and healthcare quality as described in the Welsh Healthcare Quality Improvement Plan: Designed to Deliver 2006 (QuIP). The campaign in England is being developed and led by a team of NHS staff, and supported by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA).
[The Scottish National Patient Safety Alliance was launched in November 2007.]
