Comply with Mandatory
New NHS LFPSE Service

Pharmapod is supporting United Kingdom pharmacies like yours to be in compliance with the mandatory NHS Learn From Patient Safety Events (LFPSE) service, which will be required by UK pharmacies by September 2023.
Our leading pharmacy Incident Management platform is available to ensure your pharmacy meets new LFPSE requirements for patient safety event reporting.
LFPSE
LFPSE is replacing the current National Reporting and Learning System and Strategic Executive Information System to offer better support for staff from all health and care sectors, including pharmacy.
This will result in one national NHS system for the recording of patient safety events. The system will support better analysis of safety events, and use technology like machine learning to enhance insights and key learnings.
For your pharmacy, this means LFPSE will reduce workloads around safety events, with the incident reported just once through our connected Pharmapod platform.

Pharmapod’s patient safety platform
Pharmapod’s patient safety platform is your one easy way to meet LFPSE requirements and also provides benefits including:
- Increase in the recording of errors and near misses
- Continuous improvement in patient safety and clinical outcomes
- Reduction in time spent recording errors
- Improved operational efficiencies
- Improved data quality
The deadline for providers to ensure their incident reporting platform is LFPSE compatible is September 30, 2023 (extended from March 31, 2023). For those pharmacies in Wales, we are looking into options for integration with the Once for Wales system.
What is LFPSE
LFPSE is replacing the current National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) and Strategic Executive Information System (StEIS), to offer better support for staff from all health and care sectors.
LFPSE compliance will result in one national NHS system for the recording of patient safety events. The system will support better analysis of safety events, and use technology like machine learning to enhance insights and key learnings.
How will LFPSE impact patient safety?
How will LFPSE impact patient safety?
LFPSE will reduce workloads around reporting safety events, with the incident only being reported once through Pharmapod.
LFPSE will also improve safety event recording across all healthcare settings, improve information collection, enable easier safety event data access, and support new technologies for more high-quality, timely data, analysis, and feedback generation.
More information on LFPSE is available on the NHS England website.
