The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) and the Patient and Client Council (PCC) have complementary organisational objectives of public protection and representing the interests of the public in health and social care. This event will focus on how we can improve patient safety by embracing the public as assets and developing workplace culture.
This event builds on ongoing conversations across the system, including those hosted by PCC at NICON and we consider that it will have significant relevance for a number of key focus areas across Health and Social Care (HSC) in Northern Ireland, including the Department of Health’s openness work, the duty of candour and emerging issues from public inquiries.
The event is aimed at leaders across the HSC, healthcare regulators, the voluntary and community sectors, representative bodies and members of the public. It will take the format of two panel discussions following on from presentations by our speakers, with opportunities for Q&A from participants.
Confirmed speakers include:
Sarah Castell, Chief Executive of Involve and Co-Author of the Citizens White Paper
Helen Hughes, Chief Executive of Patient Safety Learning
Jim Wilkinson, Deputy Secretary, Healthcare Policy Group, Department of Health
