Patient Safety Partner

2 months ago

Bodmin, United Kingdom NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board (ICB) Full time

In June 2021, the new Framework for involving patients in patient safety was published by NHS England. This framework sets out the approaches and standard that help to make a positive difference to how patient safety is viewed and managed in the NHS.

A key part of the framework introduces patient safety partners, empowering patients and their carers to be involved in their own safety as well as being partners alongside colleagues in improving patient safety in NHS organisations.

A patient safety partner (PSP) is actively involved in the design of safer healthcare at all levels in the organisation. This includes roles in safety governance including sitting on relevant committees to support compliance monitoring and how safety issues should be addressed and providing appropriate challenge to ensure learning and change and in the development and implementation of relevant strategy and policy.

The PSP will ensure that any committee/group of which they are a member considers and prioritises the service user, patient, carer and family perspective and champions a diversity of views.

**The following are examples of work you would be involved with**:

- Membership of quality and safety committees to consider how to improve safety
- Review and analysis of safety related projects
- Participation in investigation oversight groups
- Involvement in patient safety improvement projects

The successful patient safety partners will be required to attend a number of meetings, the majority of these will be face to face, while some may be held remotely via Microsoft Teams.

The main role of the patient safety partner is to ensure that the patient voice is heard within our organisation, with the core purpose of improving safety and quality.

The time commitment for each patient safety partner will be dependent on the areas of work that they are involved with. We aim to be as flexible as possible.

The role attracts an involvement payment at certain meetings and reimbursement for travel expenses.

Our colleagues demonstrate our values and the NHS core values as part of their day to day working lives. Colleagues will be expected to display the behaviours that underpin these values at all times and as such act as an ambassador for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly ICB.
