**A PSP is actively involved in the design of safer healthcare at all levels in the organisation.**
**This includes roles in safety governance by participating in relevant committees (such as the Patient Safety Assurance Group (PSAG), Quality Committee and the Infection Prevention & Control Committee). This may involve compliance monitoring, considering how safety issues should be addressed and providing appropriate challenge to ensure learning and change. PSPs contribute to the development and implementation of relevant strategy and policy.**
**The PSP should ensure that any group of which they are a member considers and prioritises the perspective of the people who use our services, their carers and their family members and champions a diversity of views. Further detail is provided below in the “Description of Expected Tasks” section. These include the time commitment for specific roles and frequency of meetings where appropriate.**

**As a PSP, you will be supporting our services on a sessional basis for which your expenses will be reimbursed or time remunerated as agreed. This will not lead to a contract of employment with CUH**
Main duties of the job
**Key duties and responsibilities**
As a Patient Safety Partner (PSP), you will join one or more governance committees which are concerned with patient safety, risk and quality.
Your role will be to:
Bring the voice and needs of patients, families, carers and the public into committees in a way that provides appropriate challenge and fosters learning and change.
Receive and read meeting papers prior to attending meetings.
Be prepared to put forward ideas of how PSPs can support the improvement of patient safety across CUH and work with staff to put these in place.
Maintain strict confidentiality of meetings, its members and content at all times both pre, during and post meetings.
Participate in training being developed by Health Education England and locally agreed induction and training requirements.
- Interact with other PSPs as needed as part of the role.As the role develops there may be the opportunity to get involved in other activities to support patient safety.
Working for our organisation
**Patient Safety Partner Role**
The Patient Safety Partner (PSP) is a new and evolving role developed by NHS England and Improvement (NHSEI) to help improve patient safety across health care in the UK.
The new NHS Patient Safety Strategy is built on the principle of enabling patients and their carers to be partners in their own safety as well as in the safety of the organisation. In line with these goals, our vision is to have services in which Patient Safety Partners are embedded, who will be able to act as a listening ear to patients and service users, and to serve as a source of invaluable feedback at a Trust management level.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with us at CUH to develop our safety culture, by ensuring that the people who use our services and live within the diverse communities we service, contribute to the development of patient safety systems and are involved in safety at all levels of the organisation.
This includes having a voice in safety governance, for example being part of safety committees such as the Patient Safety Assurance Group, Quality Committee and the Infection Prevention & Control Committee, contribution to improvement work within the Trust and lending your voices to redesign of services. Your contribution will provide an unbiased and uncompromised view of what it feels like to receive care and will substantiate where changes to our services are necessary.
If you have an interest in patient safety and are confident to put forward views on behalf of the wider community through active involvement in committees and/or improvement work, we would love to hear from you.
**As a Patient Safety Partner, you will be supporting our services on a sessional basis for which your expenses will be reimbursed or time remunerated as agreed. This will not lead to a contract of employment with CUH.**
PSPs may be involved in:
Service and pathway design - Even if it is not always practical for a PSP to be involved. If patient representatives identify patient safety concerns, they may seek advice from a PSP on how to address this with relevant staff members in the service redesign team.
