The second Dash review will make recommendations about how to improve quality more broadly across the wider safety landscape. How does this fit amidst the ongoing reorganisation and restructuring within the healthcare system as NHS England merges into the Department of Health and Social Care? Addressing key questions such as:
- What does this mean for patient safety and quality of care?
- How are key patient safety policies and strategies going to be kept at the heart of these reforms?
- What will the budget cuts due by October (including 50% cuts in trusts’ corporate spend and ICBs’ running costs) mean on the ground for teams delivering patient safety across the system?
- How will this affect the delivery of the government’s shifts from analog to digital, treatment to prevention and hospital to community?
Speaker: Dr Penny Dash, Chair, NHS England
