As a PSP, you will play an important role in ensuring the voices of patients, carers, and the public are heard in decisions that affect the safety and quality of care. This role was introduced as part of NHS England’s Framework for Involving Patients in Patient Safety, which promotes partnership working between patients and healthcare professionals.
