Content ArticleLearn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) is a centralised system that healthcare staff can use to record patient safety events and access data and analytics about patient safety events nationwide using the NHS database. It replaces the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) that was used to upload incidents to the NHS. Homerton University Hospital have shared a presentation on how they are going to implement LFPSE into Datix, a quick reference guide and a screen saver they are using to introduce it to staff. Others may find the resources useful and can adopt/adapt them in their own organisations. They can be downloaded from the attachments below. Additional resources on the hub: CSH Surrey share their presentation slides on LFPSE and Datix.

Content ArticleLearn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) is a centralised system that healthcare staff can use to record patient safety events and access data and analytics about patient safety events nationwide using the NHS database. It replaces the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) that was used to upload incidents to the NHS. LFPSE introduces improved capabilities for the analysis of patient safety events occurring across healthcare, and enables better use of the latest technology, such as machine learning, to create outputs that offer a greater depth of insight and learning that are more relevant to the current NHS environment. LFPSE fields can now integrated into Datix incident form, and the information is uploaded to the national database upon the completion of an incident report. After the reviewing manager’s and Patient Safety Team review, any changes are automatically re-uploaded and the information updated in the national database. CSH Surrey share their presentation slides on LFPSE and Datix.

‘Vital’ safety deadline thought to have been missed by most trusts
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Most trusts are thought to have missed the deadline to launch a new national incident reporting system that has already been beset with difficulties and delays. Seventy per cent of more than 150 patient safety managers polled during a patient safety management network meeting last month said their organisation would not meet the 30 September go-live deadline for the new learning from patient safety events (LFPSE) incident reporting system. LFPSE is a key part of NHS England’s safety strategy and replaces the historic national reporting and learning system. The new reporting system was originally due to be implemented by March 2023. However, this deadline was pushed back six months, after widespread concerns were raised by patient safety managers, which included software quality, incident reporting form complexity and lack of time for testing. Managers have pinned the latest launch delay on RLDatix – the vendor which provides incident software for more than 60% of trusts – claiming it could not provide the functionality needed and its releases were “not fit for purpose”.

Content ArticleOn 29 September 2023, a group of NHS staff and Experts by Experience joined a Teams meeting to help the National Patient Safety team in NHS England (NHSE) to answer two important questions. 1. Is it a good idea to keep asking NHS staff to record the level of psychological harm experienced by patients and service users, after a patient safety incident? 2. If so, how we can help make sure this is done as well and accurately as possible? Here is the write up of the workshop.

EventuntilThe Learn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service is the NHS's new system for the recording and analysis of patient safety events. Very little research had been done before to understand the best ways to make sure patients, service users and their families can give their views on safety incidents, for the whole NHS to learn from. Learning from patients’ experiences and how they feel about the care they have received is known to be a very good way to make healthcare services better. However, getting the right information from people in the right way, and making sure the right NHS staff see it and can act on it, is difficult to do. This Show and Tell outlines the research completed to understand how we can do this better through the introduction of the LFPSE service. Audience: This is a publicly open event for anyone interested in understanding the work that NHS England has completed into understanding the best ways to make sure patients, service users and their families can give their views on safety incidents, for the whole NHS to learn from.

Content Article
To mark this year’s World Patient Safety Day (WPSD), the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) will be running a series of blogs and Talking Heads on key surgical and dental topics in this area. These have been provided by patients, families and carers, alongside members of the College’s Patient Safety Group, College Council and the wider College fellowship. The College’s eleven Surgical Specialty Boards (SSBs) have been asked to provide blogs on how patient involvement in their individual specialty has helped to drive up standards of care. The blogs will provide examples of how patients and carers can play vital roles in making decisions about their own individual care and also how they can enhance the safety of the healthcare system as a whole by contributing to strategic decisions at organisational level. Two blogs will be released on each day of the College’s week-long WPSD campaign, starting on Monday 11 September and leading up to WPSD on Sunday 17 September. Members and Fellows will have access to these through the College website following the campaign. -

Content ArticleFrom September 2023 all organisations who previously reported to NRLS should make the switch to recording to the new Learn from Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service, which will replace the NRLS. From Autumn 2023 organisations will also make the transition from the Serious Incident Framework (SIF) to the Patient safety incident response framework (PSIRF). This means there will be changes to the expectations and processes associated with recording information about the response to patient safety incidents This document provides detail into where incident responses are to be recorded during the transition to LFPSE and PSIRF.

Update on LFPSE implementation deadline
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
In an email to staff today (9 May 2023) NHS England (NHSE) have confirmed that to meet the deadline for implementing the new Learn From Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service, Trusts will only need to ensure this is underway by the 30 September 2023, rather than fully implemented. LFPSE is a new central national service for recording and analysing patient safety events that occur in healthcare. Some NHS organisations are now using this system, instead of the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS), and all organisations will be expected to transition to this. The original date for Trusts to implement LFPSE was the 31 March 2023. However, in response to concerns about the achievability of this deadline, on the 18 October NHSE announced an optional six-month extension, meaning that Trusts needed to deploy the new system by the 30 September 2023. Today’s email to NHS staff noted that some Trusts “are still anticipating challenges with the time scales”. Responding to this, NHSE clarified that provided the LFPSE transition within organisations Local Risk Management Systems was underway by the end of September, and that application of the guidance to configure formals and fields was being actively worked on, this milestone should be considered as having been met. Commenting on this Helen Hughes, Chief Executive of charity Patient Safety Learning, said: “This is a welcome announcement by NHS England, reducing the immediate pressure on staff who had raised serious concerns on the ability to have LFPSE configured and ready to submit events by the 30 September deadline. This flexibility will ensure that the new LFPSE service has a stronger chance of successful transition and to enable patient safety improvement”. -
News ArticleFresh concerns have been raised about the launch of the national incident reporting system, despite Steve Barclay taking a ‘personal interest’ in hitting the tight timetable, HSJ has learned. NHS England already delayed the launch of the “learning from patient safety events” database by six months, to September this year. It is due to replace the existing national reporting and learning system (NRLS) which is considered to be outdated and at risk of failing. But serious concerns are now being raised again by trust safety managers about whether the revised launch date can be met, HSJ has been told, with calls for it to be extended again until next year. HSJ has heard concerns from several managers that an upgrade due in July to the RLDatix risk management system – which is used by the majority of trusts – will cause knock-on problems implementing LFPSE in September. They said the timeframe was too short for testing and delivering the upgrade in time to make the transition and decommission the old NRLS. The creation of LFPSE is a key part of NHSE’s safety strategy, along with replacing the serious incident reporting system, with an aim of making it easier for staff to record safety events across all services, including primary care, which is excluded from NRLS.

Content ArticleThis guide published by NHS England & Improvement describes the validation rules relating to the LFPSE project, specifically around submitting an Adverse Event via the Adverse Event Application Programming Interface (API). It covers several types of validation rules, which have been split into three sections. Bespoke business validation rules which have been implemented based on the dependencies between responses and extensions that cannot be captured by the FHIR resource validation. FHIR validation responses which may be returned from the API when native FHIR validation checks the submission body against the LFPSE FHIR profiles defined for an adverse event. Invalid operations and similar responses which are external to validation of the submission, including responses pertaining to permissions, personal information and any other responses that do not fit into the two categories above.
