Every Healthcare professional in the course of their professional duties is required to manage patient safety. In addition, as Healthcare systems become ever more complex the need for formalised Patient Safety Management systems and structures requires that there are staff with the necessary skills and expertise to be able to lead and manage these activities at all levels. These courses are designed to meet those needs.
