Significant event analysis (SEA) can provide valuable learning and sharing of information for clinicians involved in patient care.
However, this may not always be the case for GP locums, as Dr Emma Green, Medicolegal Consultant at Medical Protection explains.
Medical Protection frequently get calls from GP locums who have been involved in an inquest or complaint case and are uncertain whether an SEA has taken place. Understandably this can cause frustration and on occasion misrepresentation of the facts.
