Patient Safety

The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) promotes a flexible, learning-based approach to patient safety incidents rather than relying solely on investigations. Our Trust is committed to responding in ways that drive continuous learning and meaningful improvements tailored to our context and the needs of our population. Our plan will evolve as new insights emerge, prioritising patient safety at every stage.

PSIRF also highlights the importance of engaging patients, families, and carers, ensuring their voices are as valued as our staff’s. Our Patient Safety Partners will help embed this collaboration. We are dedicated to fostering a just culture where staff feel safe reporting concerns and empowering meaningful change through open dialogue and shared expertise.
