To support the implementation of the PSIRF, we are working with key partners across the North West to deliver a series of 4 events between November 2022 and April 2023. These are the NHS England recognised events for supporting your implementation of PSIRF so please do prioritise attending them as you will gain knowledge, insight and support for your own team.
For more information and to register for the first event on the 4 November 2022, please click here.
Please note, attendance at all 4 events is recommended. These events are not repeated, each event is on a separate topic.
The events will feature speakers from PSIRF early adopter sites, NHSE’s Patient Safety team, Health Education England and ICS-based workshops to support PSIRF preparation.
Participants from all acute, community, mental health and ambulance providers from across the North West’s 3 Integrated Care Systems as well as the Integrated Care Boards, are invited to take up 4 places each at this FREE series of events. We are particularly keen to see the following roles represented at the events:
