Every year we publish a one year plan setting out what we will do as a Trust and our priorities for the year. As part of ‘keeping the base safe’ we committed to producing a Quality and Safety Strategy which describes how we will deliver the best quality and  safest care to the communities we serve.

Colleagues from our Quality Team talked to colleagues and patients about the quality of our services and what we should focus on to make them as safe as possible. This has been pulled together in the new Quality and Safety Strategy which is on our website on the publications page. We've also created a summary on a page too.

We will implement the actions throughout the year – some of these you will be involved in already, such as the implementation of InPhase, our new risk and incident management system; and the rolling out of the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF).
