Clinical Nurse Rebecca Westacott reminds us that keeping patients safe isn’t just about one role or one moment — it’s about everyone working together.
Rebecca is an experienced front-line nurse now working with the Clinical Products Alerts and Advisory Unit.
The Unit follows‑up product and consumable complaints, actions product recalls, assesses requests for new products, and sources alternatives to manage supply issues.
“Equipment, devices and products need to be safe and compliant, because the tools we use every day are critical for patient safety,” Rebecca said.
Rebecca has a simple, empowering message for her fellow clinicians: “you matter”.
“Our role is to keep our patients and staff safe at all times through device and product compliance,” she said.
“We can’t do that without staff who are empowered to make reports about the issues they face.”
