The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) helps the NHS learn from its mistakes so that it can improve patient safety. We do this by collecting reports on errors and other things that go wrong in healthcare so that we can identify national trends and introduce practical ways of preventing problems.
We do not investigate individual cases or complaints, but we do listen to public concerns and can use what you say to improve safety - your experience could help prevent the same thing happening to other people.
If you want to make a complaint about your specific case, there are other organisations who can help.
Focus groups
We are interested in hearing your views on how we collect patient experiences. You are invited to participate in one of the
focus groups taking place from 8 June to 11 June 2009.
