2. Responding to Francis and Berwick “The most important single change in the NHS in response to this report would be for it to become, more than ever before, a system devoted to continual learning and improvement of patient care, top to bottom and end to end.” Berwick Report, August 2013

3. For NHS staff and clinicians: Participate actively in the improvement of systems of care Acquire the skills to do so Speak up when things go wrong Involve patients as active partners and co- producers in their own care

4. Patients as leaders and true partners Co- producing the safety programme

5. “Following Don Berwick’s recommendation, NHS England will establish a new Patient Safety Collaborative Programme across England to spread best practice, build skills and capabilities in patient safety and improvement science, and to focus on actions that can make the biggest difference to patients in every part of the country. They will be supported to systematically tackle the leading causes of harm to patients. The programme will start in April 2014.” The government’s response to Francis, November 2013 Responding to Francis and Berwick

Key principles Build on existing good work Establish ‘how’ to implement current evidence Test and refine new ways of working – where evidence may be lacking Influence levers and drivers in the system to support safer care Align initiatives – making safety everyone’s business Staff and patients – tools, skills and support Aim for large scale and transformational change Share learning across the NHS

16. NHS IQ Role – what we have heard A small national supporting / coordinating function Build on pockets of excellence and communities of interest Developing joint approaches with partners to: Measurement - expert group, baseline metric development and national aggregation Leadership & Culture - expert group Capability building programme - workshops Programme evaluation & ROI Partner with patients and carers Provide QI and programme support materials and guidance Co-produce - avoid duplication and share best practice and resources Do only what adds value nationally - help align work, connect and join up the dots
