Safeguarding and reviews in NHS continuing healthcare: keeping people safe

As part of our CHC webinar series we had an important discussion about how we keep vulnerable people safe in our national continuing healthcare review process. We were joined by Kenny Gibson, Deputy Director for NHS Safeguarding and Jonathan Senker, Chief Executive of VoiceAbility. The session was facilitated by Art Calder, Head of Clinical Services. The following discussion points were addressed: The vital role continuing healthcare (CHC) plays in the safeguarding of vulnerable people The importance of empathy and understanding when working in CHC Robust review processes to ensure effective safeguarding of vulnerable people How safeguarding issues can be prevented by organisations conducting thorough clinical reviews How a focus on patient safety can also act as an economic approach to NHS continuing healthcare
