Investigation of Deaths & Serious Incidents in Mental Health Services- Implementing PSIRF

This national conference looks at the practicalities of Serious Incident Investigation and Learning from Deaths in Mental Health Services and implementation of the New Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF previously known as the Serious Incident Framework). The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) was published on 16th August 2022 and replaces the Serious incident Framework. The conference will also update delegates on best current practice in serious incident investigation and learning, including mortality governance and learning from deaths. There will be an extended focus on ensuring serious investigation findings lead to change and improvement, and updates from PSIRF early adopter sites in mental health. The conference will also examine how the new framework will fit with the Royal College of Psychiatrists Care Review Tool for mortality review.

The conference is particularly timely considering the current Essex Mental Health Independent Inquiry and the recent investigation onto concerns regarding CAMHS provision at Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust both of which have National Implications:
