(LONDON, UK, 9 July 2019) – In June 2019, the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), established by NHS England in 2013 and re-licensed from April 2018 to operate as the key innovation arm of the NHS, invited comment on their proposed patient safety strategy.
The strategy aims to demonstrate the added value that can be brought to patient safety by the AHSNs working much more collaboratively.
Chief Executive of Patient Safety Learning, Helen Hughes, has responded to the strategy. Helen comments: "We see the potential of the AHSN Network: the capability and expertise, the desire to make a real difference and a belief in collaboration. We want to see this potential realised, and Patient Safety Learning wants to help."
The deadline for comment has now passed, and the AHSN Network will launch its strategy at NHS Expo in September.
