DOHA: The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) has announced its first event in the Leading Health Systems Network's (LHSN) Safer Care Webinar Series: Involving the Patient in Safer Care.
The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) initiative is in partnership with Imperial College London. The webinar on April 15 will discuss how placing patients at the centre of care and engaging them as full partners is essential for any patient safety effort, QF said Monday.
The featured speaker is Margaret Murphy, External Lead Advisor for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Patients for Patient Safety Program, a network of 300 patient safety champions from 52 countries with 19 collaborating organisations.
QF spearheads WISH to inspire and diffuse healthcare innovation and best practice.
WISH launched the LHSN Safer Care Accelerator Programme last month to share best practice and inspire health systems worldwide to provide safer care for patients.
The year-long programme will bring together a global network of healthcare organisations to exchange insights, experiences, and data on the topic of patient safety, culminating in the publication of a global report. (QNA)
