The report provides a review of how patient safety has evolved across the world over the past two years – since the publication of the Global State of Patient Safety Report 2023.

It showcases Australia, Ireland, the Netherland and Norway as exemplars of best practice.

“The gap between where the UK is on patient safety and where we could be – if we matched the best–performing health system – represents around 22,000 lives every year. That's 60 lives every day.” https://t.co/5q1pb3Xs2U

[Patient Safety Watch @WatchPatient]

The message is clear: the UK’s patient safety gap is measurable - and therefore fixable.

When tens of thousands of deaths may be preventable, closing that gap must be a national priority.
