Patient Safety Incident Response
There is a requirement for organisations who hold NHS contracts to display their Patient Safety Incident Response Framework on their website.
The attached Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) documents highlight how we will develop and maintain effective systems and processes for responding to patient safety incidents for the purposes of learning and improving patient safety.
The approach supports the four key elements of the national PSIRF requirements, which are:
- compassionate engagement and involvement of those affected by patient safety incidents
- application of a range of system-based approaches to learning from patient safety incidents
- considered and proportionate responses to patient safety incidents and safety issues
- supportive oversight focused on strengthening response system functioning and improvement
