Declarations
:
: Aneurin Bevan (Gwent, Wales, UK) University Health Board’s Research Risk Review Committee approved research protocols for analysis of National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) patient safety incident reports and judged the study as using anonymised data for service improvement purposes, approving it on this basis (ABHB R&D Ref number: SA/410/13). Analysis of NRLS reports was also reviewed as part of the wider “GPs in EDs” study (National Institute for Healthcare Research HS&DR: 15/145/04) and given a favourable ethical opinion on 23/11/17 by the Wales Research Ethics Committee (REF: 17/WA/03). No ethical approval was sought for analysis of the Coroners reports since these are publicly available data.
