The Safer Patients Initiative was the first major improvement programme addressing patient safety in the UK. The purpose of the Safer Patients Initiative was to test ways of improving patient safety on an organisation-wide basis within NHS hospitals. This report draws not only on the independent evaluation but also on case studies from those involved in the programme and from a five-year research programme which ran alongside the Safer Patients Initiative - Journey to Safety. This learning report provides an overview of the Safer Patients Initiative (phases 1 and 2) and its evaluation, and highlights the impact of the programme, key lessons and further issues for exploration.
