The North West Ambulance Service is committed to improving the way in which the NHS responds to patient safety incidents and we are seeking to develop and strengthen our team to manage the new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework.
The post holder will work closely with Lead Patient Safety Incident Investigators to provide support the Patient Safety Incident Investigations process including the organisation of multi-disciplinary Patient Safety Incident meetings with a variety of stakeholders.

North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport.
Our highly skilled staff provide life-saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need.
Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.
We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non-emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
