title: Clinical incidents in general practice. Prescription errors.
abstract: The incident Monitoring in General Practice Project began as an initiative of the Professional Indemnity Review. Anonymous data from general practitioners about unintended, and possibly adverse events were collected in order to develop preventive strategies that might ultimately increase patient safety and therefore reduce litigation. Feedback and sharing of experiences and ideas about these events, possible management strategies or the project as a whole are invited from the readers.
