Patient Safety Partner

Gateshead, United Kingdom Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The role of a patient safety partner is to enable the trust to value, listen and provide meaningful involvement opportunities for patients, their carers and families in the ongoing patient safety work of the organisation. The PSP will support a culture which is ‘patient centred’.

The patient safety partner role attracts an involvement payment of £150 per day, or £75 per half day. Reasonable out of pocket expenses are also covered, including time to complete mandatory training.

These payments are in line with involvement payments that are agreed nationally and as outlined in the PPV Partners Expenses and Involvement Policy (October 2021). Involvement payments are seen by HMRC, the Job Centre and insurance companies as income.
- It is important that you participate and join key conversations and meetings within the Trust that address patient safety. You will attend our patient safety meetings and committees.
- Committees/meetings may require face to face attendance or may be online, either of which the PSP must be comfortable with this approach.
- You will professionally challenge us and the way that we work and be our critical friend.
- You will provide a questioning approach to the information shared at the Committees and meetings.
- Representing the patient’s/family voice, to ensure the committee/meeting members are ‘walking in the patient’s shoes’.
- Co-designing the developments of patient safety initiatives.
- Compliance with relevant policies and maintaining confidentiality.

Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.

Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.

We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.

Our values should be the ‘golden thread’ which runs through everything we do - they are the core of who we are. Our five values can easily be remembered by the simple acronym ICORE; Innovation, Care, Openness, Respect, Engagement.

We have a number of staff networks including the BAME network, D-Ability network, LGBTQ+ Network and the Women’s Network, to challenge us and help us to constantly improve. Our armed forces network is one of our emerging networks.
