Shared Insights: Impact of the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) on preparing for inquests

07 May 2026

The change in approach to investigations under PSIRF has resulted in some practical challenges to the way in which information and organisational learning evidence is presented to the coroner for inquests.

Join us for a discussion on how the PSIRF and coronial processes can work more effectively together to ensure that coroners receive the information they need for inquests while preserving PSIRF’s core principle of fostering a learning culture within healthcare.

Bringing together perspectives from across the system, we will explore some of the key challenges and, importantly, share positive and practical examples of how a collaborative approach across both learning and coronial processes can ensure that relevant information is shared effectively.

Chaired by Amelia Newbold, Risk Management Lead and Katie Viggers, Professional Development Lawyer in our Inquest and Advisory Team, we are delighted to be joined by an experienced panel who will share their experiences and insights:

  • Mr Graeme Irvine, HM Senior Coroner for East London.
  • Lauren Mosley, Head of Patient Safety Incident Response Policy, NHS England.
  • Stef Cormack, Head of Patient Safety at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust.
  • Conor Lees, Head of Legal Services at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust.

Delegates will have opportunities to put questions to the panel, gain their perspectives on specific issues, and share ideas and solutions with organisations across the health sector. 

This event is free of charge and tailored for in-house legal teams, patient safety specialists, senior leaders, clinicians and professionals working in the health sector.
