NHS England: Organisation patient safety incident reports

Summary

Data workbooks and explorer tool based on incidents reported by NHS providers in England to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS).

Every six months the NHS publish official statistics as a breakdown by NHS trust of the incidents reported to the NRLS.

The Organisation patient safety incident reports (OPSIR) provide data by NHS trust and gives NHS providers an easy-to-use summary of their current position on patient safety incidents reported to the NRLS. This includes information on patient safety incident reporting and the characteristics of their incidents.

The information in these reports should be used alongside other local patient safety intelligence and expertise, and supports the NHS to deliver improvements in patient safety.

As well as the OPSIR, the NHS also publish the National patient safety incident reports which set out the number of patient safety incidents reported to the NRLS from a national perspective and describe their patterns and trends.
