Clinical Incident Review System (Datix)

What is it?

Datix is the reporting system for recording clinical incidents or ‘near misses’. It allows for the sharing of the details of incidents; enabling weaknesses in the system to be identified, customs and practices to be changed and staff to be retrained where necessary. Datix  allows incidents to be reported in real-time reducing delays experienced with paper systems.

How do I get access?

Access to DATIX is through StaffNet and can be found under the ‘Applications’ menu. Guidance on completion of an incident form is available on the DATIX StaffNet page.
