A series of webinars hosted by NHS England (NHSE) to support preparations for the transition to the new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) is due to take place between now and September (2023).

The way the NHS responds to patient safety incidents will change when the current Serious Incident Response Framework is replaced by PSIRF in the autumn (2023).  The emphasis will be on understanding how incidents happen, rather than apportioning blame.  The PSIRF will support the NHS to learn, improve and make care safer.
