Summary
The National Patient Safety Agency was established in 2001
to improve patient safety in the NHS.
It aims to ensure that the risk of
avoidable harm to patients is minimal, that concerns about doctors’ and
dentists’ performance are resolved so that return to safe practice is enabled
where appropriate, and that participants in research are protected through an
fair, transparent, quick and efficient ethics system.
This Annual Report finds that the National Patient Safety Agency has
achieved one of its key objectives by publishing the first Patient Safety
Observatory report, data collected and analysed by a new “world-leading”
patient safety incident reporting system.
