Health Services Safety Investigation Body (HSSIB) Reports
The Health Services Safety Investigation Body (HSSIB) conducts independent investigations of patient safety concerns in NHS-funded care across England. This page details reports where CPOC has been referenced to undertake HSIB recommendations
Most harm in healthcare results from problems within the systems and processes that determine how care is delivered. HSSIB's investigations identify the contributory factors that have led to harm or have the potential to cause harm to patients. The recommendations made aim to improve healthcare systems and processes in order to reduce risk and improve safety.
