“Patient safety and quality of healthcare are paramount to the LivingCare Group. We needed a solution that could meet the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) and Learning From Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) standards, and Radar Healthcare provided the perfect solution.”
“This isn’t something that one person does, this is a team approach, this is a whole organisation approach, trying to engage a better culture, a sense of safety, a sense of being able to talk openly around when incidents happen.”
“The introduction of this framework represents a significant shift in the way the NHS responds to patient safety incidents, increasing focus on understanding how incidents happen – including the factors which contribute to them.”
“The fact that we could work with Radar Healthcare to be the first Trust in the country to report on the national LFPSE system was a real bonus. Not only are we improving the safety of our own patients, but we are also helping to improve patient safety across the country.”
“The way Radar Healthcare links across all streams of work and pulls them together is like a big jigsaw built around the patient.”
“Radar allowed our company to have a clear and structured oversight of incidents, being able to identify themes and trends gave insight and direction to areas that we could focus learning, development and reporting on. For me, the ability to link incidents to action plans, the risk register and audits provides a clearly documented and evidential pathway that we are continuously striving to improve patient safety.”

The PSIRF is a vital part of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy, which aims to continually improve and build on the foundations of a safer culture and safer systems. The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) has replaced the Serious Incident Framework (SIF) and organisations were expected to transition by Autumn 2023.
So what exactly is the PSIRF? It removes the definition of a serious incident and instead just focuses on patient safety incidents. It isn’t an investigation framework like the SIF, instead it:
The PSIRF is mandatory for any services under the NHS Standard Contract. This includes acute, ambulance, mental health, community healthcare, maternity and specialised services.
Secondary care providers that aren’t NHS trusts are expected to apply the PSIRF, but may not need to complete the entire analysis for patient safety incident response planning. Instead, processes like stakeholder engagement in preparing plans will be expected.
Primary care services are not required to implement the PSIRF, instead, it is optional. If they choose to, they should work with their integrated care board (ICB).
As part of the PSIRF, the PSIIs or Patient Safety Incident Investigations are carried out to improve systems. They involve investigating patient safety incidents to pinpoint both how and why they happen.
Data collection and analysis play a large part to help identify underlying system-based causes. Once identified, improvement plans are put in place to address these system issues and therefore help improve patient safety in the National Health Service.
The NHS provides tools and methods for PSII including incident mapping worksheets and contributing factors classification.
The key components include:
PSIRF offers several benefits, including:
The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) is an approach to responding to patient safety incidents. NHS organisations in England have been implementing the framework since September 2023 and, as part of this, each trust is required to create and publish a Patient Safety Incident Response Plan (PSIRP). You can find a list of all PSIRP plans on the Patient Safety Learning Hub’s website.
