World Patient Safety Day webinar series

World Patient Safety Day webinars explore approaches to improving safety across pathology, from point of care testing to joined-up diagnostic pathways.

Patient safety is central to pathology, with laboratory and diagnostic services playing an important role in supporting safe and effective care.

To mark this year’s World patient safety day, RCPath hosted a series of three webinars exploring patient safety from different perspectives across pathology. The sessions bring together a range of topics, from point of care testing and maternal and paediatric health to reducing errors across diagnostic pathways.

The series includes:

  • Improving patient safety through Point of Care Testing
  • Advancing paediatric and maternal health in the UK and abroad
  • Joined-up healthcare: designing error out of diagnostic pathways

The webinars are now available to watch - www.rcpath.org/WPSD
