While patient safety is often recognized as a strategic priority within healthcare systems, this designation carries significant implications. In practical terms, decision-makers in health and social care settings are tasked with balancing the importance of patient safety against competing priorities such as financial considerations, resource allocation, and operational efficiency. However, at Bradley Research, we firmly assert that patient safety transcends being merely another item on the priority list—it is intrinsic to the very purpose of healthcare. Patient safety must not be subject to negotiation or compromise; it is a non-negotiable cornerstone of quality care delivery. By reframing patient safety as an indispensable component of healthcare’s core mission, we advocate for unwavering commitment and accountability in ensuring the safety and well-being of every individual under care.
