PATIENT SAFETY CONFERENCE

Every year, in addition to other campaigns and activities, EUPSF organises a conference dedicated to patient safety key issues and latest developments.

This year, we met in Madrid on 8 November for the 2024 Patient Safety Conference entitled Enhancing PatientSafety through Digital Innovation: The Missing Links.

READING TIP

At a time when the potential of technological innovation to improve patient safety and patient outcomes is increasingly undeniable, tangible results are still a long way off. What are the missing links that prevent the vision of breakthrough digital solutions from translating into genuine improvements in patient safety and outcomes?
