We recorded this podcasts as part of our work to mark World Patient Safety Day 2023, to celebrate its theme of ‘engaging patients for patient safety’. It is part of a series of podcasts recorded with the Patient Safety Partners that work with the National Patient Safety Team, who play a vital role in providing a patient’s perspective to support our work to improve patient safety.
In this podcast, we speak to Khudeja, a patient safety partner who is also a CEO of a Women’s Centre supporting communities from black, Asian minority, ethnic deprived areas of Leicester and Leicestershire to address health inequalities. Khudeja talks about her experience as a Patient Safety Partner and why it is so important for patients to be involved in patient safety.
