Stories of Safety

Stories of Safety is a podcast that delves into the stories, science, and policy that have shaped
health care safety. Hosted by patient safety researcher Professor Jane O’Hara, and funded and
delivered by National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Yorkshire & Humber Patient
Safety Research Collaboration (PSRC), this series brings together leading voices from the UK and
beyond to explore a deceptively simple yet crucial question: How safe are we, and how can we
improve?
Through insightful conversations with researchers, patients and families, policymakers, and
those on the front lines, Stories of Safety explores the complexity of health care and the
challenges of managing and measuring safety.
Join us as we navigate the ever-evolving world of patient safety—one story at a time.
