<p>The Sign up to Safety campaign was launched on 24 June 2014. Each organisation
that has joined the campaign has committed to improving patient safety through the
implementation of a Safety Improvement Plan. The Safety Improvement Plan builds on
the pledges the organisation set out when joining. The pledges are expanded in more
detail in the plan, which sets out what the organisation wants to achieve and by when.
Each organisation is expected to demonstrate how they will measure the local impact
of their aims over the next three years via a measurement section within their plans.
They will then implement their aims over the next three years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>The Sign up to Safety campaign is being promoted by means of:</p><p> </p><p>-
a national campaign website;</p><p> </p><p>- regional and national presentations at
events across the country delivered by the Campaign Director, the Secretary of State
and others;</p><p> </p><p>- Twitter with over 1,500 followers;</p><p> </p><p>- a blog
by the Campaign Director;</p><p> </p><p>- an online seminar programme (webinars);</p><p>
</p><p>- through partner organisations including NHS England, Care Quality Commission,
Monitor, NHS Trust Development Authority, NHS Litigation Authority, Health Education
England, and NHS Improving Quality;</p><p> </p><p>- mini poster campaigns, such as
the Safe Care Costs Less, and individual events, such as the launch of the Patient
Briefing Video; and</p><p> </p><p>- through participant websites and local events.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As at the end of October 2014, a total number of 136 organisations
have agreed to participate in the Sign up to Safety campaign. Each participant organisation
is expected to set out how they will contribute to the campaign’s three year objective
via their Safety Improvement Plan – they are expected to quantify the expected impact
of their actions on a reduction of avoidable harm and saving lives. The measurement
and evaluation of the impact at a regional and national level will be led by NHS England
working with NHS Improving Quality as part of the integrated measurement strategy
for both the campaign and the Patient Safety Collaborative programme. This will include
the National Reporting and Learning System, harms via the Safety Thermometer and mortality
rates, case studies of individual organisations and patient record reviews.</p><p>
