The Investigator will work in line with Being Open and Duty of Candour principles, ensuring appropriate investigation/review methodology and systems-based approach to support the Trust’s patient safety improvement work. This includes developing a culture of continuous learning and improvement and one where staff feel psychologically safe to raise patient safety concerns; by ensuring responses to incidents and complaints are compassionate, effective, fair and consistent. The postholder will also support the process of learning from incidents, complaints and audit outcomes and ensure these inform organisation wide improvement programmes and learning and development activities.
The post holder is accountable to the Senior Patient Safety Manager and will be required to deputise for them.
