In connection with Euroanaesthesia 2011, an extracurricular course will be offered by the ESA and its Subcommittee Patient Safety in collaboration with the international faculty.
Learn about how errors evolve in medicine, what the root-causes are and how patient safety can be improved on a systematic level!

The one-day post graduate European Patient Safety Course provides you with a very intensive insight into the general topics of patient safety as endorsed by the ESA and EBA (UEMS) in the Helsinki Declaration on Patient Safety in Anaesthesiology1.International experts will give you an overview of why things go wrong, what works in practice to
reduce errors and enhances the safety culture to make patient care safer.

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 and to start achieving the goals of the Helsinki Declaration on Patient Safety in Anaesthesiology [1]. The course also gives you the unique opportunity to exchange and network with colleagues from all over Europe.

We look forward to welcoming you at our course!
