Quality and Safety
Quality and Safety within the Trust is managed by the Quality & Clinical Standards Directorate.
To ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of NHS care possible we have systems and processes for monitoring and improving services, including:
- consultation and patient involvement
- clinical risk management
- clinical audit
- research and effectiveness
- staffing and staff management
- education, training and continuing personal and professional development
- the use of information about the patients' experience, outcomes and processes
Our aim is to ensure:
- a continuous improvement of patient services and care
- a patient-centred approach that includes treating patients courteously, involving them in decisions about their care and keeping them informed
- a commitment to quality, which ensures that health professionals are up to date in their practices and properly supervised where necessary
- the prevention of clinical errors wherever possible and the commitment to learn from mistakes and share that learning with others
