Manchester Patient Safety Assessment Framework
We have produced this framework to help make the concept of safety culture more accessible in the community setting.
The framework can be used in the following ways:
- To help your team recognize that patient safety is a complex multidimensional concept.
- To stimulate discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the patient safety culture in your community pharmacy.
- To show up any differences in perception between staff.
- To help you to understand how a community pharmacy with a more mature safety culture might look.
- To help you to evaluate any specific attempt to change the safety culture of your community pharmacy.
