Our mission and vision:

We aim is to make health and care systems safer, especially for individuals, families, and communities with the greatest need for improvement in patient safety. We’ll do this by driving improvements to patient safety through carrying out innovative research in partnership with patients, carers and those accessing health and social care so their lived experience is at the very core of our research. We believe this will lead to an improvement in their outcomes, all while saving the NHS money.

Our four research themes address major safety concerns for patients and service users, practitioners (doctors, nurses, and other health and care professionals), and organisations. The themes are:
