''When my Trust were under Special Measures and the CQC had real concerns regarding patient safety, I reached out to Steve through a mutual contact. He left everyone in awe with his depth of credible knowledge and experience. I highly recommend him to anyone''
''Steve has always been proactive in obtaining independent internal audit advice and opinion to ensure that the processes and controls he has put in place are as robust as they can be. Steve always works in a collaborative way with patients and staff being at the forefront of his approach''
''The region recommended Steve following the regulators concerns over the robustness of our ligature processes. He provided reports that were simple and easy to understand. The feedback from two of the Directors he met was very positive, and his input led to significant changes''
''With Steve's help and support, both our Nursery's were able to demonstrate to Ofsted that we had taken effective action to address areas previously identified for improvement. Steve provided comprehensive health and safety inspection reports of our grounds and gardens with supporting risk assessments''
''Steve has supported our services with focussed visits to review ligature management processes following patient safety incident investigations as well as providing expert advice for our new hospital programme. This enabled us to take a proactive approach that meets the needs of patients who are at risk of self-harm. Steve always encourages collaborative ways of working with clinical and non-clinical staff, recognising the importance of patients being cared for in a safe environment, as well as being clinically managed. I would definitely recommend Steve for his professional and proficient advice and support ''
“As Chair of the Health & Safety Forum Southwest, Healthcare & Social Care Group, I have known Steve for several years and have consistently been impressed by his extensive knowledge and expertise across a broad range of health and safety disciplines. When our organisation required an independent specialist in ligature management, Steve was the natural choice.
He conducted comprehensive ligature risk assessments across all of our mental health in‑patient facilities, providing detailed reports supported by robust management plans and locally tailored information guides. Throughout the process, Steve demonstrated exceptional professionalism, discretion, and a strong patient‑centred ethos, delivering his work to an exemplary standard even within highly challenging environments. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve as a trusted and highly capable expert in his field.”
