Patient Safety Partners
7 months ago
The Wirral University Teaching Hospital requires volunteers to support a specific set of roles within the Patient Safety Partner Team. These roles will seek to wrap around and support the existing processes to learn and understand patient safety events to bring about effective quality improvement.
Roles can involve a time commitment from a couple of session a month up to multiple sessions per week depending on your capacity. The key to the role is utilising experiences of our local population, whether as a patient / family member or safety experience from other sectors to help review, challenge and support implementation of sustainable quality improvements.
Whilst experience of working in safety critical industries would be a great benefit in this role, all training will be provided through the national Patient Safety Syllabus programme.
The Patient Safety Partner role will initially cover three key areas:
- Proportionate responses to patient safety events (joining an decision making panel)
- Supporting investigation teams following patient safety events
- Supporting quality improvement steering groups.
The PSPs will attend meetings, review and critique reports, interview staff and those effected by patient safety events, support proposal of recommendations and challenge where change is not evident.
All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us. We are described as “competent and caring staff” by our patients.
Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is situated on The Wirral peninsula which has a stunning coastline and beautiful countryside surroundings, with great activities for its residents.
We are one of the largest and busiest acute Trusts in the North West of England, comprising of the Wirral’s only Emergency Department. We provide a high quality range of acute care services and employ over 6,000 staff, who serve a population of approximately 400,000 people across Wirral, Ellesmere Port, Neston, North Wales and the wider North West footprint.
We have approximately 855 beds trust-wide and our financial turnover is in excess of £337m.
The Wirral is easily accessible with excellent transport links including motorway, train, bus or ferry and within easy reach to the major cities of Liverpool, Chester and Manchester as well as neighbouring North Wales.
The specific roles of a PSP will develop over time, the initial 3 roles described above have been co-produce with professional and patient representatives and will initially see a focus on; setting responses, supporting investigations and supporting quality improvement. A PSP can express a preference for any of the areas of working and will be aligned to the current work required.
The roles will mainly be completed at the Arrowe Park Hospital site but opportunities for more remote / hybrid working can be considered.
