Seeking LINk representatives

St Georges Hospital needs your help and are seeking members to representative LINk on the following groups:  

• Patient Safety Committee

The aim of the patient safety committee is to ensure the best clinical outcomes for patients and that risks to patients that arise directly from clinical treatment and practice are managed and minimised. The committee will do this by ensuring that evidence based practice is delivered, that systems and processes are in place to identify, evaluate and reduce clinical risks, and that the governance committee and the Board are provided with assurances that optimal clinical outcomes are being achieved.

* The Committee will meet at least four times per year. Additional meetings may be held on agreement with the Chair of the Committee 

• Energise for Excellence in Care (E4E)

E4E is a quality framework that supports the delivery of high quality care with measurable outcomes that are evidence based. E4E builds on the variety of initiatives already underway to embed quality as the organising principle across the NHS and is aligned with national work including High Impact Actions for Nursing and Midwifery, the NPSA’s Patient Safety Campaign, Productive Series, DH Quality Initiatives and Transforming Community Services Programme as well as the RCN’s Breaking Down Barriers, Driving up Standards work.

* Minimum of one hour every month to attend the steering committee.
