Strengthening Patient Safety
NHS Scotland is the first health service in the world to adopt a national approach to improving patient safety. That is why acute hospitals across the country are taking part in a dedicated drive to ensure that patients receive even safer care. By reliably introducing evidence-based changes to practice, patient safety in Scotland will be significantly improved.


About the Alliance
The Scottish Patient Safety Alliance has been established to oversee the development of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme.
