Factsheet: Patient Safety Commissioner (25 January 2021)

A promising development.

The person specification & job description of the Patient Safety Commissioner will be key. E.g,  someone who is credible and comfortable at all levels, with patients, carers, the public and with professionals, has a background in inter-disciplinary working, and is able to consider things from all angles. A tall order indeed.

I believe this will need an open recruitment process, and the role will need involvement of ALL stakeholders spanning professional boundaries / hierarchies, and fully including those who raise difficult questions and issues.
