Never Events are serious incidents that are entirely preventable because guidance or safety recommendations providing strong systemic protective barriers are available at a national level, and should have been implemented by all healthcare providers.<\/p>

<\/p>

National Health Service providers are encouraged to report all Never Events through the National Reporting and Learning System. The Care Quality Commission views failure to report a Never Event as a breach of a provider\u2019s registration requirement and which may attract sanctions.<\/p>

<\/p>

Below are the total numbers of Never Events for the last five years which are published online by NHS Improvement and can be accessed at the following link:<\/p>
