In Yorkshire and the Humber , we use the tools and interventions based on our learning and have built firm foundations and a robust evidence base to demonstrate what works in practice .
This year the NatPatSIP ’ s work has been focussed across five safety improvement programmes ( SIP ); maternity & neonatal , deterioration , medicines , adopt & spread and mental health .
Maternity and Neonatal
The Maternity and Neonatal Safety Improvement Programme ( MatNeoSIP ) aims to reduce the national rate of preterm births from 8 % to 6 % and reduce the rate of stillbirths , neonatal death and brain injuries occurring during or soon after birth by 50 % by 2025 .
The Yorkshire and Humber PSC has strengthened its collaborative working approach with the Maternity Clinical Network , the Neonatal Operational Delivery Network , the NHS England regional team , local maternity systems and Maternity Voice Partnerships . We also have an established MatNeoSIP Improvement Leaders Group representing all the local maternity systems .
As a result , we have developed and progressed our Patient Safety Network , so we are able to work collectively to progress towards our aims but also to respond to specific requests for help ; arranging webinars on topics of specific interest such as the British Association of Perinatal Medicines ’ ‘ seven elements for safer extreme preterm birth ’ ( BAPM 7 ).
This year , we have hosted four Patient Safety Network meetings , covering the following subjects : sharing learning , culture , kindness collaborative , deterioration , health inequalities and improving smokefree pregnancies . In addition , we have conducted three webinars on the BAPM 7 , supporting women ’ s choice . In total , over 400 colleagues from across the region attended . These meetings have enabled us to share learning and best practice as well as provide local teams with valuable networking opportunities .
Managing Deterioration
The aim of the Managing Deterioration Safety Improvement Programme ( ManDetSIP ) is to improve the prevention , identification , escalation , and response to physical deterioration , thereby reducing potential harm for patients . We are working across a range of acute and community settings in health and social care to achieve our aim .
Over the past 12 months , we have worked with several partner organisations ( including Primary Care Networks ( PCN ), Clinical Commissioning Groups ( CCG ) and local authorities ) and social care providers to support the uptake of a range of tools aiming to identify and escalate deteriorating residents .
