Notifiable incident
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
Any unexpected event that causes any sort of harm to a person while they are receiving treatment or care. If this happens, the law says that care providers have to tell the person (or someone acting on their behalf) what has happened, apologise for it, explain what the effects might be, and offer to help fix the situation.
