HSIB: Submit a patient safety concern

Summary

The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) has launched an online form for submitting a patient safety concern. The form should take around 20 minutes to complete.

You can tell them about something that has happened or something that might happen.

Something that has happened: this could be a one-off or a series of events where something potentially dangerous has happened, whether or not someone was actually harmed.

Something that might happen: this could be a safety risk or an unsafe condition that, if not corrected, might lead to an incident which could cause harm.

Follow the link below to find out more about the process, read their privacy notice or request the form in an alternative format.

Note: HSIB can investigate events or risks that occurred within NHS-funded care in England after 1 April 2017.
