Wessex Patient Safety Collaborative – Learning Event 1

Wessex Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC) supports staff working in practice across Wessex to deliver the safest care possible, through a collaborative structure where organisations, networks and teams can learn from each other and from experts in topic areas.

Collaborative teams from Wessex organisations participate throughout the year attending 4 learning events and then testing improvements in practice using Plan-Do-Study-Act [PDSA] cycles in between events.

Copies of the materials used during the first Learning Event can be found on this page. Any enquiries about these materials should be made to the Patient Safety Team at the Wessex Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) via email at patientsafety@wessexahsn.net or by telephone on 023 8202 0844.
