Patient Safety Awards 2010

Concerns over patient safety within the UK health industry are ever-growing, and producing resourceful and innovative strategies to address these concerns is vital in sustaining confidence in the health care system, and ultimately transforming patient experience.

Recognising achievements in implementing effective methods that improve patient safety is crucial to raising awareness of how important it is for any organisation to produce successful patient safety strategies.

The Patient Safety Awards celebrate the commitment and creativity shown by individuals and organisations, and disseminate best practice throughout the UK and beyond.

Entrants submitted hundreds of examples of outstanding initiatives that have transformed patient care and outcomes. They have reduced morbidity, improved patients' experiences of healthcare, increased patients' quality of life and, undoubtedly, saved lives. In these harsh economic times, it is worth pointing out that entrants have saved considerable amounts of money - both in reducing patients' need for treatment and in avoiding compensation and litigation arising from safety related incidents

The individuals and teams involved in all the shortlisted entries are examples of the best in healthcare and demonstrate that patient safety truly is at the heart of what they do.
