Patient Safety Partners needed at Merseycare
Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust are excited to welcome a team of PSPs to work alongside staff, patients, service users and families to influence and improve safety within services.
PSPs can be patients, service users, carers, family members or other lay people (including NHS staff from another organisation). This is a great opportunity to share your interests, experiences, and skills to help develop the new PSP role and be a part of the team.
Patient Safety Partners will be actively involved in the continuing design of safer healthcare and will:
- Support the Trust to develop and embed the new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) and make sure they continue to consider and prioritise the views of service users, patients, carers and families in response to patient safety incidents
- Share ideas to further improve and implement patient safety across the Trust.
Working with the Patient Safety Team, these roles will require a commitment of between 8 to 10 hours per month initially for a twelve month period.
Mersey care are looking for people who represent the needs and interests of users, of services, and ultimately want to improve health care. You will need an awareness of the experiences and perspectives of Mersey Care communities. For example, people that find it difficult to access health services because of financial issues, health conditions or accessibility needs.
