Serious Untoward Incident Inquiries



Serious untoward incidents (S.U.I.s) are any extraordinary or unexpected incidents that have caused, or have the potential to cause, serious harm, or have, or are likely to have, attracted adverse public and media interest.  All services have serious untoward incidents upon occasion, no matter how effective the service may be.

 

PDMH Consultancy have experience in investigating S.U.I.s and producing comprehensive reports. Consultants carry out S.U.I. investigations using root cause analysis and a collaborative rather than an adversarial style to elicit the most useful information and ensure comprehensive recommendations to optimise lessons to be learnt.  The recommendations are based on best practice and on statutory policies.

 

PDMH consultants assure the highest level of confidentiality unless this contravenes statutory obligations.
