The aims of the Scottish Patient Safety Leadership Development Course were:

- to provide delegates with the necessary quality improvement tools, strategies and support to develop and implement an action plan to improve the patient safety in their organizations.
 - to encourage the development of a community of practice and learning stretching across traditional organizational and professional boundaries.
