Safe
In making our services safe, we make sure that people are protected from avoidable physical, psychological and emotional harm; abuse, discrimination, neglect, and loss of human rights.
We demonstrate this by monitoring:
- staffing levels on our wards
- slips, trips and fallson our wards
- medication incidents in our services
- prescribing and administration errors
- patient pressure ulcers occurring in our care
- incidents involving ligatures and ligature points
- incidents involving actual physical violence to patients
- incidents relating to clients being absent without leave whilst under the Mental Health Act
- unexpected deaths of patients while in our care
- use of seclusion on our mental health wards
- use of restraint on our mental health wards
- the control of infection on our wards
- patient safety walkrounds on our hospital and mental health wards
- achievement in our sign up to safety campaign
- “never” events if they occur.
We publish all this information each quarter in the Trust Quality Report
