Evidencing clinical safety in a pattern library submission

[fenfrances]

Hello all. I hope this is the right forum for this question, and maybe you can direct me elsewhere if not?

I'm working with a group of clients that includes a clinical team at a hospital, and some researchers from a university.

A few years ago, we developed a site that introduces some new components to the NHS pattern library in order to perform specific functions. These additions have proven to be very successful, so we are now looking at the possibility of making them available for use elsewhere within the NHS.

I have reviewed the criteria outlined here https://service-manual.nhs.uk/community-and-contribution/contribution-criteria in advance of putting together a submission proposal to the pattern library.

With regards to the last criteria about 'clinically safe' -- I would like to provide the clinical team involved with some sort of guidance about how they evidence that, but I haven't been able to find any examples or guidance on how to do this. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks very much!

Hi @fenfrances . There is some guidance in the NHS service standard point around Making your service clinically safe. There is also the related point about (Supporting a culture of care)[https://service-manual.nhs.uk/standards-and-technology/service-standard-points/15-support-a-culture-of-care]. It may not all be relevant but it should provide a starting point.

We look forward to seeing your work on new patterns.

Thank you @sarawilcox that's really helpful.

We're looking forward to sharing it and getting some feedback! Hopefully it can provide some use to other teams :)
