THIS YEAR THEME

Times of multiple crises: reasons and ways to keep patient safety on the agenda

Amidst crises like the pandemic, conflict, and migration, patient safety must remain a priority. While securing care is crucial, lowering standards or neglecting improvement is risky. We must defend quality of care, avoiding regression and embracing the historical progress of medicine now more than ever. EUPSF advocates for upholding patient safety even in challenging times.

I had the opportunity to present the National action plan on patient safety in Sweden during the EUPSF Conference. Patient Safety is a foundation within our healthcare system and the EUPSF Conference provided a valuable opportunity to present our national work to a wide European audience.

The EUPSF conference was an engaging event that we were very pleased to be part of. Great discussions about how we can advance patient safety as a clinical and industry team! Thank you for involving us.

Co-organizing the Patient Safety Conference with EUPSF was a great experience. The exceptional collaboration with a skilled and efficient EUPSF team added a new dimension to our annual conference. It successfully bridged the gap between the European and local perspectives, enabling us to address common challenges, share best practices, and foster cooperation.

Fighting fatique together

Fatigue is a risk for both healthcare professionals and patients. It is affecting the well-being and safety of healthcare professionals with greater intensity and on a larger scale than ever before. But we are all likely to be affected because fatigue is also a risk to patient safety.

We need to act now and do what we can to protect healthcare workers -and beyond them, patients – from the adverse effects of fatigue. Our priority is to find raise awareness about fatigue and motivate healthcare workers across Europe to protect themselves from its effects.
