This weekly newsletter is sent to NHS providers’ chairs, chief executives, finance, medical, nursing and HR directors, and board secretaries.
For information
We have updated the Never Events list to reflect the exclusion of administering local anaesthetic to the wrong site for dental procedures (sometimes referred to as dental blocks). This incidence should no longer be reported as a Never Event.
Since list revisions in January 2018, only one wrong site dental block has been reported under the wrong site surgery category.
