Don Berwick, Institute for Healthcare Improvement

The Scottish Patient Safety Programme is without doubt one of the most ambitious patient safety initiatives in the world –

national in scale, bold in aims, and disciplined in science.

It harnesses the energies and wisdom of Scotland’s health care

leaders – NHS executives, QI experts,, clinical professionals, civil

servants, , and more – all aligned toward a common vision,

making Scotland the safest nation on earth from the

viewpoint of health care.”
