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>
The Sign up to Safety campaign is being promoted by means of:<\/p>
<\/p>
- a national campaign website;<\/p>
<\/p>
- regional and national presentations at events across the country delivered by the Campaign Director, the Secretary of State and others;<\/p>
<\/p>
- Twitter with over 1,500 followers;<\/p>
<\/p>
- a blog by the Campaign Director;<\/p>
<\/p>
- an online seminar programme (webinars);<\/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>
- 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>
- through participant websites and local events.<\/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\u2019s three year objective via their Safety Improvement Plan \u2013 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>

Patient Safety Incidents occurring in the National Health Service are reported to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) whose primary purpose is to enable learning from patient safety incidents. The NRLS was established in late 2003 as a largely voluntary scheme for reporting patient safety incidents, and therefore it does not provide the definitive number of patient safety incidents occurring in the NHS. However, from 1 April 2010 it became mandatory for all providers registered with the Care Quality Commission (including all NHS trusts and foundation trusts) in England to report all serious patient safety incidents to the Care Quality Commission. To avoid duplication of reporting, providers of NHS services are encouraged to report all incidents resulting in death or severe harm to the NRLS which then reports them to the Care Quality Commission.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> At present, more than 100,000 patient safety incidents (including those resulting in no harm) are reported to the NRLS each month. However, these data are collated on a quarterly, rather than monthly basis. Detailed breakdowns on incidents reported are published twice-yearly and can be accessed via the following link:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> http://www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk/resources/collections/quarterly-data-summaries/<\/a><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The most recent spreadsheet providing quarterly data for the number of patient safety incidents reported to the NRLS from October 2003 to June 2014 is attached.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The NRLS is a dynamic reporting system, and the number of incidents recorded as occurring at any point in time may increase as a greater proportion of incidents are reported. Experience in other industries has shown that as an organisation\u2019s reporting culture matures, staff become more likely to report incidents.<\/p> <\/p>"}
