These  role requirements documents for Patient Safety Specialists at providers and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are designed to support NHS organisations in identifying individuals with the right skills and experience to take on the role as a Patient Safety Specialist. They outline the purpose of Patient Safety Specialists, the key requirements of the role, and how we expect them to work in their own organisation, as well as with local, regional and national partners.

There are separate versions of the document for Patient Safety Specialists at NHS providers and at ICBs.
