We've recently added to our growing suite of online learning modules, with the latest courses now available on our main website:
themdu.com/learn
The course is primarily aimed at clinicians and managers working in primary care, although those working in secondary case will find much of the information useful.
You will have the opportunity to test your knowledge as you work through the course, with a short end-of-module quiz. On finishing the module, you'll be able to download a certificate of completion.
The course is made up of five chapters and will take about 40 minutes to complete, covering:
- why it's important to have a system in place to recognise, analyse and learn from significant events
- identifying, reporting and acting on significant events
- how to carry out a significant event analysis (SEA)
- storage and disclosure of SEA records.

Part of our series on confidentiality, this standalone module only takes about 15 minutes to complete, and is aimed at primary care doctors who produce reports about patients for third parties, as well as practice managers or administrators who want to better understand the principles and process.
The content is also relevant for occupational and sports physicians, prison doctors, forensic medical examiners, doctors in the armed forces and doctors working for insurance companies.
By the end of this module you should:
- understand the issues of confidentiality and consent when providing reports to third parties
- know how to handle requests from patients to alter reports
- know where to seek advice on specific cases.
