Incident reporting in radiology: Radiation incidents and near miss events across the UK

6th March 2020  09:00 AM - 05:00 PM (GMT+01:00) Europe/London

This event will provide an overview of radiology incidents and near miss events, including why errors occur, reporting, investigation and learning from errors.

The event hopes to address the following burning questions:

  • Why do errors happen?
  • What learning can be gained from the reporting and investigation of errors?
  • How can we prevent errors from occurring or re-occurring?
  • What learning can be shared to benefit all departments?
  • What are the multi-disciplinary roles involved in the investigation of a notifiable incident?

Educational aims:

  • To present the legislative requirements with regards to incident reporting under IR(ME)R
  • To provide education with regards to why errors happen and how future reoccurrences may be prevented
  • To learn from past incidents, local experience and identify transferable learning from radiotherapy
  • To discuss the CIB suggested radiology error taxonomy
