Inaugural World Patient Safety Day

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is launching a global campaign to create awareness of patient safety and to urge people to show their commitment to making healthcare safer.

The inaugural World Patient Safety Day will be held on 17 September 2019.

Hear from AGPAL Group Chief Executive, Dr Stephen Clark as he shares why this day is so important and how your team can get behind World Patient Safety Day.

Our staff will be dressing up in orange in celebration of World Patient Safety Day, having conversations about the importance of patient safety, coming up with ideas as to how this could be improved and we encourage you to do the same!

We’d love to hear about some of the ways your team is contributing to patient safety and how you decide to celebrate World Patient Safety Day on 17 September.

Join us!
