MHRA and NHS England have jointly issued two patient safety alerts and supporting guidance to help simplify reporting and help healthcare providers increase incident reporting involving medication errors and medical devices. This work is the result of extensive stakeholder engagement and aims to increase the quantity and quality of adverse incident reports to both organisations. It will also enable us to provide effective and regular feedback to healthcare providers in order to promote patient safety.
