Risk Management Annual Report 2008 – 09 The Risk Management staff attend many Divisional Groups and Short–Life Working Groups to advise on Risk Issues and support the implementation of the Strategy and external assessments/audits. Other key groups essential to the development and leadership for Risk Management include: ◦ National DATIX Group ◦ NHS QIS Joint Clinical Governance & Risk Management Network ◦ NHS QIS Risk Managers Network ◦ Institute of Risk Management ◦ Institute of Health Service Management ◦ ALARM National & Local Developments NHS QIS Endoscopy Decontamination Incident Reporting NHS QIS, through the Safer Today – Safer Tomorrow Report 2006 – 07, identified the need to review and improve incident reporting across Scotland. They invited NHS risk managers to participate in 4 unique workgroups. NHSL supported the Corporate Risk Manager in participating in the group identifying data sets. The outcomes from this group identified that concurrent with the monitoring of decontamination incidents occurring across Scotland that there would be a focus on working with Health Protection Scotland to take this forward. Three Health Board areas (Lanarkshire, Lothian and Glasgow & Clyde) were invited to participate in the development and piloting of a data set specific to incidents relating to decontamination within endoscopy units. This was undertaken over the period January – December 2008. The findings were limited as only 2 health board areas continued participation (Glasgow withdrew). The final report is being collated by NHS QIS with a presentation from the Risk Managers from Lanarkshire and Lothian presenting early findings to the CG&RM Network Group in preparation for the receipt of the report and recommendations. The findings will be reported to the RMSG and the NHSL Endoscopy Steering Group on receipt of the final report. Developing a Model of Governance & Risk Management within GP Practice The Corporate Risk Manager and 2 Practice Managers within CHP South have had early discussions to develop and implement a model of Risk Management within independent GP Practice. This work has continued and evolved to involve the Medical and Dental Defence Union (MDDUS) as partners in developing learning sessions for Independent practitioners on the feasibility of the use of electronic systems (DATIX) to support risk management in Independent Practice.

A Short–Life Working Group has been agreed through the Medical Director and will be set–up to commence in September 2009. Representation has been agreed and will include MDDUS, GMP’s Practice Advisors, Medical Director, Practice Manager and Risk Management. Publication of the NHSL Risk Assessment for Disclosure The development of this risk assessment tool enables NHSL to apply a sound system to manage disclosure checks based on fair, consistent and accountable decision–making on employment, while ensuring protection of patients is maximised and that the rights of prospective employees in relation to disclosure are upheld. The tool and supporting protocols have been applied and tested over a 2 year period resulting in an established and reliable system which is ‘in Press’ to be published by the British Journal of Healthcare Management in June 2009. The authors are Anne–Marie Carr, Associate Nurse Director (Bankaide), Carol McGhee, Corporate Risk Manager and Kelly–Anne McKendrick, Personnel Officer. The Corporate Risk Manger will be scheduled to deliver a presentation on the sharing of the development process of the risk assessment tool and the outcomes to the CG&RM Network before end of 2009.
