PATIENT SAFETY

NCAS Casework - The first eight years (22nd September 2009)
The National Clinical Assessment Service (NCAS) has published the largest study of medical and dental performance concerns ever carried out in the UK.

The report analyses cases referred to NCAS since 2001 and identifies which groups of practitioners are more likely to be referred to NCAS and what can be learnt from these referral patterns. The report also examines episodes of suspension and exclusion of individual practitioners and, for more than 1,400 cases dealt with by NCAS since the end of 2007, it analyses the nature of concerns which led to referral.
