Description

The one-day post graduate European Patient Safety Course (EPSC) provides you with a very intensive insight into how errors evolve in medicine, what the root-causes are and how patient safety can be improved on a systematic level.

International experts will give you an overview of why things go wrong and what works in practice to reduce errors, enhances the safety culture and make patient care safer.

Interactive parts and an audience response system (voting) will ensure your active participation. Printed handout material and access to a course resource website will help you sustaining your new knowledge.

The course is intended for all physicians and nurses in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine as an overview and perhaps as a primer to start working systematically on patient safety.
