Last year, HPA partnered with the wonderful charity @AvMAuk to establish the ‘Harmed Patient Pathway’ project, which aims to provide a framework to enable healthcare organisations to better support healing & recovery after harm, using restorative principles. 4/…

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay. This year's theme is #ImprovingDiagnosis. We want to reduce delayed, missed, and incorrect diagnoses. Our principles for better patient safety, launching in October, could help address this issue.
