Request

I am reaching out, on their behalf, to request access to data on Never Events in Ophthalmology within England.

The primary aim of this request is to analyse these critical incidents to enhance our understanding and develop strategies that can help the NHS and hospitals worldwide mitigate such events. By scrutinising these occurrences, we can identify patterns and areas for improvement, ultimately leading to better patient safety and care standards.

Our team is committed to using this data responsibly and ethically, ensuring that our findings contribute positively to the ongoing efforts in reducing never events. We believe that transparency and shared learning are paramount in driving progress and preventing future errors.

Thank you for considering my request in advance. I have attached a brief document that specifies the data we are seeking. I am happy to discuss further or provide any additional information required to facilitate this process.

Response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA.
