In order to minimise the burden on clinical departments, The Medical Exposures Group (MEG) will extract relevant incident data from existing systems such as Learning From Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) and newly developed systems such as Once for Wales. Individual departments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Independent Sector will also have the opportunity to submit data directly to UKHSA.

The incident data will be analysed by MEG and results and learning will be published in regular reports on the GOV.UK website. This will provide opportunities for clinical departments to learn from a greater pool of data, supporting a reduction in the magnitude and probability of incidents. As the system becomes established and more departments contribute data, this will allow local comparison of local incidents with the national picture. Sharing learning from clinical imaging incident data at a local, national and international level is essential to maximise opportunities to improve patient safety.
