BD Signature Programmes
Your story of care inspires our Signature Programmes.
Time is running out, and the next generation is counting on us to shape a future where safe, high-quality care is a universal promise, not a privilege.
We created BD Signature Programmes to empower you and your teams to holistically tackle the biggest threats to sustainable healthcare – from patient harm and staff burnout to inefficiencies, all while protecting the health of our planet.
Tackling three major threats to sustainable healthcare
Patient Safety Programme
Patient safety starts here
A safer future for patients begins with knowing that many serious harms like healthcare associated infections, sepsis, and medication errors can be preventable.
Our Patient Safety Programme helps you and your teams reduce adverse events through evidence-based solutions, staff training, and system-wide improvement. So you can give every patient the safest care.
Healthcare Workers Programme
Caring for caregivers
With staff shortages rising, protecting and empowering your healthcare workers is essential to sustaining safe, high-quality care.
Our Healthcare Workers Programme helps shield your teams from the safety threats they can face every day, streamlines low-value and error-prone tasks with smart technologies, and gives them more time to focus on patients. Because when caregivers thrive, quality of care does too.
Efficiency Programme
Driving Care Efficiency
A significant portion of healthcare spending is lost to inefficiencies. Those resources could be working harder, improving patient care and building resilience in your system.
Our Efficiency Programme helps you and your teams identify and reduce inefficiencies and waste, unlock hidden capacity, and drive financial and environmental sustainability. So your healthcare setting can remain effective and sustainable for generations to come.
Let’s build the future of sustainable healthcare together
