Whether that is getting the right numbers and skill mix of staff on a shift by taking patient need into account, ensuring that staff are not working too many hours or tracking safety warnings such as missed breaks or delays.
Over tired doctors, too few nursing staff or people without the specific skills for a particular patient or activity all pose a risk to the quality and safety of patient care. We also believe the focus on safety extends to each individual member of staff, both safeguarding care and safeguarding those delivering care.
