Woodier N, Burnett C, Sampson P, et al. Patient safety near misses – still missing opportunities to learn. J Patient Saf Risk Manag. 2023;29(1):47-53. doi:10.1177/25160435231220430.
Near-miss patient safety events offer unique learning opportunities. This qualitative study explored patient safety learning from near-miss events in the National Health Service. Participants noted the limited processes available for reporting near-miss events and insufficient support for reporting near-miss events, which can hinder opportunities for learning.
