Patient Risk and Safety


Relevant articles from MA Healthcare journals to support your staff’s education and practice

August 2018

As the NHS aims to become one of the safest healthcare systems in the world, the issue of patient safety is taking on a larger focus in the work of healthcare professionals. So that both NHS staff and patients can be treated in a safe environment and be protected from avoidable risks, it is vital for everyone working within the NHS to minimise patient safety incidents and drive improvements in compliance and quality of care.

We have provided a list of relevant articles from MA Healthcare journals dealing with this area, thereby providing your NHS staff with research, information and tips that will support both their work and the care of their patients
