This year the WHO World Patient Safety Day (WPSD) is on Tuesday 17 September and the theme is ‘improving diagnosis for patient safety’.
The National Quality and Patient Safety Directorate is facilitating a WPSD collaboration between the HSE, DOH and Patients for Patient Safety Ireland. This group are developing a resource pack to support services to mark WPSD with key information for the public and staff. Our primary focus will be on improving communication for diagnosis using the heading: “Listen, diagnose, understand: working together for patient safety”.
