Patient safety

Summary

Making sure patients are kept safe in healthcare settings is central to improving care.

We have several initiatives that aim to improve patient safety:

  • Excellence in Care
  • Scottish Patient Safety Programme
  • Healthcare Staffing Programme
  • Tissue Viability

Beta website

We are redeveloping our corporate website to give you a better online experience. This work will give you better access to our work on improving health and social care in Scotland.

This beta website is available at the same time as an archive of our previous website.

During the beta phase, content is being redesigned and moved from our archive to our beta website.

You’ll navigate between the archive website and beta website for resources. We’ve made this as easy as possible. You’ll find links to the archive website within this beta website.
