COVID-19 patient safety response

Not yet rated

This report summarises the work, commissioned by the national patient safety team at NHS England and NHS Improvement, that Patient Safety Collaboratives (PSCs) carried out in 2020 and early 2021 to support the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Working in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement, NHS Digital, NHSX and others, they helped roll out two patient selfmonitoring pathways, COVID Oximetry @home and COVID virtual wards, designed to allow vulnerable people’s care to be managed safely at home.

This followed the successful spread of a tracheostomy care bundle, designed to support staff, in expectation of a rising number of Covid patients requiring ventilation.

This report focuses on the learning from the implementation and the partnership approach which allowed these programmes to be run successfully and at pace.
