As part of this years GP contract, there is a new requirement for all GP surgeries to register to the Learn From Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service. This is to ensure practices are actively reporting and reviewing patient safety incidents.
LFPSE service is a national NHS system for the recording and analysis of patient safety events that occur in healthcare. The service introduces a range of innovations to support the NHS to improve learning from the over 2.5 million patient safety events recorded each year.
