If we don't keep the staff safe, who will look after the patients?

In this talking heads video, we chat with Sophie King, Safety, Compliance and Assurance Manager for an Acute NHS Trust, about her journey into health and safety, what she enjoys about the role and how it impacts both staff and patients of the NHS.

She discusses the importance of getting compliance right, having thorough processes in place and how training are all integral to the continued safety of the trusts that work tireless to keep our citizens healthy.
