Patient Safety Resource Centre

New, from The Health Foundation, the Patient Safety Resource Centre aims to provide practitioners at all levels with access to high quality information to support patient safety.

Resources available include key research, projects, national standards, implementation guidelines and case studies. All the information has been through the Health Foundation's quality assurance process to ensure it is of a robust standard. Where there are gaps in knowledge there are also plans to commission experts to produce new resources.


New areas of care are in development, but intially the PSRC has launched with three main areas of information:

  • Safety management
    This area explores structures and systems required to implement and monitor safety related changes, as well as developing a comprehensive patient safety culture.
  • Diabetes / Frail Elderly
    These sections address specific safety issues in relation to the pathways of care and provide tailored information and case studies about how to apply patient safety principles in practice.
