To facilitate and support Champions
To understand the skill set and provide a
developmental programme for Champions


This project has developed ‘in-country’ Patients For
Patient Safety Champions in England and Wales
We are helping to establish and grow a community of
interest with people who want to help the NHS improve
patient safety and learn from the mistakes or accidents
Champions are already working in partnership with
NHS healthcare professionals and policy makers and
we want to share and disseminate the good practice
that exists.
