Patient safety professional standards: responding to patient safety incidents
This was published when the organisation was the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
These patient safety professional standards support you when responding to patient safety incidents. They describe good practice and provide a broad framework to support you to continually improve services, shape future services and roles and deliver high-quality care across all settings and sectors. Their implementation will improve patient safety and the quality of pharmaceutical services.
They have been developed by the RPS, Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK and Pharmacy Forum NI, with the support of an expert steering group and public consultation.
Pharmacists, pharmacist prescribers, pharmacy technicians and the wider pharmacy team across the United Kingdom will find these standards useful.
They may also be of interest to the public, to people who use pharmacy and healthcare services, other healthcare professionals working with pharmacy teams, regulators and commissioners of pharmacy services.
