Implementing Berwick with Nurse Excel
A promise to learn – a commitment to act
Don Berwick Review 2013"The most important single change in the NHS in response to this report would be for it to become, more than ever before, a system devoted to
continual learning and improvement of patient care, top to bottom and end to end.“
“Ultimately, by far the greatest benefit to patient safety will be achieved by increasing the skills and the knowledge of the many rather than penalising
the very few.”
"Rules, standards, regulations and enforcement have a place in the pursuit of quality, but they pale in potential compared to the power of pervasive and
constant learning."
"The NHS should become a learning organisation. Its leaders should create and support the capability for learning, and therefore change, at scale, within
the NHS.
