National Patient Safety Agency

The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) was a UK organization dedicated to improving patient safety in healthcare. It worked to prevent errors, reduce risks, and promote better practices across hospitals and clinics. The NPSA gathered and analyzed safety data, provided guidelines, and supported staff in delivering safer care. Its goal was to minimize harm to patients, ensuring healthcare services were as safe and effective as possible. The agency was replaced in 2018 by NHS Improvement, but its core mission of enhancing patient safety continues under new structures.
