New Patient Safety Incident Response Plan is published

First Community's Patient Safety Incident Response Plan 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 has been published on the First Community website.
The plan sets out how First Community will learn from and respond to patient safety incidents reported by staff and people who use our services over the next 12 months.
Sarah Tomkins, Chief Executive commented, "It is my pleasure to introduce First Community's Patient Safety Incident Response Plan. Relationships and respect are at the heart of our plan and our ambition to provide First rate care by First rate people. I am incredibly proud of our prioritisation on learning when responding to patient safety incidents. This approach has led to improvements and shared learning enabled by a sharper focus on our learning responses.
"I look forward to the next 12 months as we continue to focus our support and energy towards a shared vision for patient safety, taking this plan forward, learning and improving, supporting each other to speak up, learn, listen and improve."
