Patient safety affects anyone who might ever need clinical or medical care. Which means it’s an issue affecting everyone. Find out more about how we’ve been campaigning for improvements in patient safety for over 40 years.

When something goes wrong in a clinical setting and causes harm, patients and their families need to be treated fairly, honestly, and get the support, answers and outcomes they deserve. This is what we mean by access to justice.

After more than 20 years of campaigning, in 2014 it became law in England for health and social care organisations to be open and honest with patients about incidents that have caused or could potentially cause significant harm.
