Abstract

Patient safety errors are often caused by the NHS being a "Tower of Babel", with many "languages" spoken. Staff "tribes" often focus on their own agendas, rather than on the patients' health. The National Patient Safety Campaign is aiming to make the topic a priority of staff, patients and carers.
