Driving improvements in patient safety has been a core goal of the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) in England since their inception in 2013. The National Patient Safety Collaborative Programme, nested within the 15 geographically located AHSNs, was established in 2014 in response to the Berwick review. In 2019, the new NHS national patient safety strategy was published, which placed the AHSNs as a key vehicle for delivering its ambitions. This paper explores the achievements of, and opportunities presented by, the collaborative in addressing some of the key patient safety challenges facing physicians and their wider teams. Case studies illustrate the AHSNs' contribution to support national ambitions, including the adoption of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2, and the impact of regionally-led work on patient outcomes, such as reducing mortality from sepsis and acute kidney injury. We set out current activities, opportunities for physician engagement and plans for future work.
自 2013 年成立以来，提高患者安全一直是英国学术卫生科学网络（AHSNs）的核心目标。2014 年，针对贝里克审查，在 15 个地理位置不同的 AHSNs 中设立了国家患者安全合作计划。2019 年，发布了新的 NHS 国家患者安全战略，该战略将 AHSNs 作为实现其目标的重要工具。本文探讨了合作在解决医生及其更广泛团队面临的一些关键患者安全挑战方面取得的成就和带来的机遇。案例研究说明了 AHSNs 为支持国家目标所做的贡献，包括采用国家早期预警评分（NEWS）2，以及区域主导的工作对患者结局的影响，如降低败血症和急性肾损伤的死亡率。我们介绍了当前的活动、医生参与的机会和未来工作的计划。
