Three-phase surgical safety checklist aligned with NatSSIPs and WHO Safe Surgery for NHS operating theatres.
The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, adapted for NHS use per National Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures (NatSSIPs), reduces wrong-site surgery and surgical complications. This version covers the three critical phases — Sign In (before anaesthesia), Time Out (before knife-to-skin), and Sign Out (before patient leaves theatre).
Consistent use is a core patient safety requirement for CQC inspections and demonstrates compliance with NatSSIPs and your trust's Local Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures (LocSSIPs).
