Dear Sir/Madam

Help us to Sign up to Safety and Quality Improvement in the NHS

At Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT), we have signed up to a national campaign that aims to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world and halve avoidable harm in the NHS over the next three years. This will become part of our new Quality and Safety Improvement Strategy 2016-18.

The trust wants to be sure that everyone in our local community who may use our services has absolute confidence that our care and treatment is completely patient centred. As a trust we have been committed to the delivery of our Quality and Safety Improvement Strategy.

The purpose of this letter is to let you know that we are arranging a number of events in order to meet with members of the public to share examples of the excellent work that has been achieved from our current Quality and Safety Improvement Strategy. We also want to discuss the key themes within the Sign up to Safety Campaign and establish ideas and seek feedback for the other elements of our Quality and Safety Improvement Strategy 2016 – 18.

The events are open to anyone by registering in advance by completing the enclosed booking form or by contacting the Patient Experience Team on 01270 273961 or email

Alternatively, a short presentation can be arranged for any local group meetings where possible during January/February 2016. This can also be arranged by contacting the Patient Experience Team on 01270 273961 or email

Each event will be in the format of a short presentation and discussion groups to seek views and feedback from the public.
