Guidance on writing up Significant Events

An SEA record should contain the following items :

  • Title of the event
  • Date of the event
  • Date the event was discussed and the roles of those present
  • Description of the event involving the general practitioner
  • What went well?
  • What could have been done better?
  • Reflections on the event in terms of:
    • Knowledge, Skills and Performance
    • Safety and quality
    • Communication, partnership and teamwork
    • Maintaining trust
       
  • What changes have been agreed:
    • For me personally
    • For the team
    • Changes carried out and their effect

Significant event audits need to be discussed in groups and are much easier to conduct within primary care teams. Single-handed general practitioners and locums may therefore experience difficulties in conducting significant event audits. They should try to discuss the event in a multi-disciplinary meeting in the practice in which the event occurred. If that is not possible, they may join a group of similar general practitioners who can, together, discuss each others’ significant events. Experience shows that there are solutions to these potential problems for such general practitioners.
