Details

Changes to the National Chlamydia Screening Programme were announced in June 2021. The content on this page is currently being updated to reflect these changes.

These reports outline lessons learned from incidents reported to the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP).

Reporting incidents is a part of the NCSP quality assurance framework, to learn from incidents and provide better service in the future.

An incident is an event or circumstance that could have resulted, or did result, in unnecessary damage, loss or harm such as physical or mental injury to a patient, staff, visitors or members of the public.

Previous lessons learned reports are available from the archived NCSP website.
