The Response Study

Summary

In August 2022, NHS England launched a new way of responding to safety events, called the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF). The PSIRF policy aims to support NHS organisations to be more flexible in how they respond to safety events. 

The Response Study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The aim of the Response Study is to understand, in real time, how the roll out of this new policy happens across the NHS in England, and what impact it has. 

The study is based at the University of Leeds. It began in May 2022 and will end in July 2025.

The Response Study are inviting all PSIRF Leads from NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards in England to complete a survey by 15 December 2023. To access the survey please contact [email protected].
