St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and expects that all staff will share in this commitment. The Trust is clear that all staff have a responsibility to be aware of children and adult safeguarding policies and procedures and that each member of staff, clinical and non-clinical, will attend child or adult safeguarding training that is provided at an appropriate level to suit their role. The Trust has the additional expectation that all staff will be able to identify concerns and know what action to take.
- Manage Datix, performing regular and recorded quality, consistency and accuracy checks and data cleansing on data to ensure the patient safety data quality is sufficient to provide statistically robust reports and to populate the quality dashboard.
- Support the Patient Safety Team with the work being undertaken within the Trust for the transition to the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) in order to develop and maintain effective systems and processes for responding to patient safety incidents and issues for the purpose of learning and improving patient safety.

- Develop and maintain the department’s web pages and other promotional material, such as ‘learning zones’, newsletters and bulletins.

- This will include monitoring the progress of actions arising from adverse events to ensure changes in practice take place where necessary.
