• Prepare and present risk analysis reports to governance committees (QPIC, EXCO, NHG Group Quality), and facilitate risk discussions with clinical chiefs and departmental leads.
• Lead patient safety adverse event and near-miss management, including promoting incident reporting, investigating serious safety events, identifying root causes, and analysing aggregate incident data.
• Develop and coordinate patient safety initiatives promoting a culture of safety, including morbidity and mortality reviews, clinical quality reviews, patient safety walkabouts, and safety committees.
• Design and deliver training programmes for clinical leaders and staff, developing e-learning platforms, simulation scenarios, and workshops, and mentor junior staff.
• Lead horizon scanning through ECRI reports, international literature, and industry networks to identify emerging global risks.
