We help clients learn from past mistakes and prevent new ones by using investigative techniques to identify changes that need to be made.
Patient safety and clinical risk
Verita has a wealth of experience in investigating and reviewing services in order to pinpoint where improvements need to be made. This work is often triggered by a serious incident or even a death. But increasingly healthcare providers are asking us to review their services before something goes wrong - sometimes because of nagging concerns about safety or compliance with regulatory standards but more often because they want to benchmark their services against best practice.
In addition to conducting independent investigations and collaborative reviews we also provide a number of related services designed to help clients tackle patient safety concerns:
- advice and support for internal investigations into serious incidents
- managing medical devices
- fixed-price offers for proactive governance reviews in areas that are recognised as high risk and where claims against the NHS are high.
