If you have experienced a safety event in healthcare as a patient or family member you can get involved in new study via phone interview
Have you, or a close relative, been involved in a “serious safety event” when receiving NHS care?
Did the NHS involve you in any investigation afterwards?
NHS Education for Scotland and Healthcare Improvement Scotland are looking for participants to be involved in a new research study commissioned by the Scottish Government and are interested in hearing from patients or family members who have experienced a patient safety event.
Whilst this is not another opportunity for individual cases to be re-examined and reviewed, they are looking for help to understand how the involvement of patients, carers and relatives could be improved in future.
How to get involved?
If you have experienced a serious incident in healthcare as a patient or family member, and are interested in taking part, get in touch via email or telephone and the team will send you some more information and an expression of interest form.
After that, if you are interested and eligible to take part in the study, they will have a longer interview with you (about an hour long) via a phone call, at a time to suit you.
All information you share in the interview will be anonymised and kept confidential and you will be free to withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason. They can’t interview people who have been involved in an incident that happened less than a year ago, where the investigation is still ongoing or who are currently involved in legal action related to the incident.
If you are interested in finding out more about this work, or taking part, please contact:
