How do you record and deal with "near misses"

The request was successful.

Dear Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust,

Please can you confirm how you deal with near misses for patient safety issues.

Do you have a policy on this subject.

How do you define near misses. How do you involve patients and carers in assessing near misses and learning to be gained from it.

How is learning from near misses put into practice across the Trust

How many near misses have you recorded in the last 3 years.

Do you collect data on reoccuring themes for near misses. Can you provide details of those themes

Thank You
