Quality and safety ebulletin - inclusion criteria

The fortnightly Quality and Safety eBulletin will keep you up to date with the latest quality and safety news. It gathers together links and descriptions, such as new policy, guidance, projects from key national and government agencies and initiatives across the four UK countries. The eBulletin will also keep you informed of relevant RCN developments.
