15. Over the last decade concerted efforts have been made to improve the safety of patient care but to date the NHS in England has not made as much improvement as was hoped It is critical therefore that over the next 3 – 6 years and beyond we do our very best to put this right

16. The good news is that there are safety experts who are gaining a much better understanding of how to make care safer
There is an emerging implementation and improvement science which will help us all make a difference

17. We can all individually make a difference one by one but collectively we can make a bigger difference by all working together to help the NHS be the safest healthcare system in the world
