Consideration should be given as to whether a Serious Incident or No Surprises is required.  \nA proportionate review / investigation should be undertaken. This toolkit is to be applied for serious incidents where there is no agreed investigation tool in place. Investigation Tools currently in place within the Health Board relate to:  \n􀂾Pressure Damage  \n􀂾Inpatient Falls  \n􀂾Patients Absent Without Leave (AWOL)  \n􀂾Infection Prevention & Control  \n􀂾Ionising Radiation Medical Exposure Regulations, (IRMER)  \n􀂾Unexpected Deaths in Mental Health  \nFor further support or guidance please contact your ILG Leads or the Corporate Patient  \nSafety Team via [CTHB_Patient_Safety_Incidents@wales.nhs.uk](CTHB_Patient_Safety_Incidents@wales.nhs.uk)  \n We Treat Everyone With Respect  \n\n| Immediate Actions |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Actions | Responsibility | Useful Information | Timeframe |\n| Implement immediate make safe actions to ensure patient safety and reduction of risk.
