MHRA and NHS England announce a new system for hospitals to report medication incidents

Detecting and learning from patient safety incidents is essential to managing risk and improving patient safety.

The MHRA and NHS England have produced a Patient Safety Alert which all healthcare providers, small and large, must implement by 19 September 2014.

This involves regularly reviewing and reporting errors and taking part in the National Medication Safety Network.
