The Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) is a fully independent arm’s-length body of the Department of Health and Social Care. It aims to improve patient safety across the healthcare sector, by carrying out expert investigations to determine the causes of accidents and serious incidents, and to make safety recommendations intended to prevent recurrence and to improve safety across the healthcare system.

HSSIB has two system facing functions and is supported by a small corporate team:

Investigations - Each year HSSIB publishes investigation reports, following incidents or accidents that evidence risks affecting patient safety in England, that make safety recommendations to a wide range of bodies and organisations.

Education - The aim of our investigation education programme is to support a professional approach to healthcare safety investigations through improved local patient safety investigations in NHS organisations. With over 11k active learners, our courses are currently available for free to NHS staff in England only, with a focus on those with patient safety and investigation roles.
