PSIRF: leadership through a medicines management lens
The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) sets out the NHS's approach to developing and maintaining effective systems and processes for responding to patient safety incidents for the purpose of learning and improving patient safety. Moving away from the Serious Incident Framework, PSIRF and its supportive resources allow organisations to draw learning from all safety incidents with a more inclusive, compassionate response to investigation.
Embedding the principles of PSIRF throughout the culture of a Medicines Management team of an acute Trust is ultimately a test of leadership.
Considering all safety incidents with the aim of identifying themes to prevent harm, necessitated a very different way of working.
This session will cover our use of PSIRF, challenges we experienced on the journey to weaving it through our safety culture, and the benefits we've already seen.
- How to choose which learning tools to use in your organisation.
- Leadership models to help you influence the culture change we need.
- How PSIRF and medicines safety are inseparable.
