As part of preparation to transition to the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF), organisations are required to create a patient safety incident response policy and plan.
In this podcast, we are joined by Jacqui Fletcher, Senior Clinical Advisor for Stop the Pressure Programme and National Wound Care Strategy, who we collaborated with to develop a guide to applying PSIRF principles in relation to planning how to respond to pressure ulcers. We discuss this guide as well wider tips for creating a patient safety incident response plan.
