This policy provides a framework to enable BrisDoc and its staff to identify, assess, prioritise, manage, monitor, reduce and report risk. Effective risk management supports BrisDoc in achieving agreed standards, reducing costs, increasing patient and staff safety, and maintaining and enhancing the services it provides. It also enables BrisDoc to meet its core objectives.
The BrisDoc Combined Board assesses business risks in the context of the organisation’s core values and corporate objectives. When determining its appetite for taking on new risks, the Combined Board will ensure that BrisDoc can continue to provide safe, effective and high-quality patient care that delivers on key performance indicators, while also considering financial, health, ethical, social, environmental and information governance considerations.
BrisDoc’s capacity to take risk is supported by robust and comprehensive risk management being embedded in everyday working practices and processes.
