Patient safety toolkit
This toolkit is intended to aid the assessment of different aspects of patient safety with a view to making improvements.
Safety Checklist for General Practice
This checklist identifies hazards across the wider work systems that may threaten patient safety, as well as those hazards that have an impact on the health, safety and well-being of all involved.
It can be seen as a traditional checklist, but it also has a global monitoring role. It provides clarification of specific safety issues already covered by legislation and mandatory requirements. This checklist is designed to be used every four months.
The Safety Checklist for general practice is designed by NHS Education for Scotland in partnership with Health Improvement Scotland.
