WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide

The new Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide released by WHO Patient Safety in October 2011 promotes the need for patient safety education to improve the safety of care. The comprehensive guide assists universities and schools in the fields of dentistry, medicine, midwifery, nursing and pharmacy to teach patient safety. It also supports the training of all health-care professionals on a number of priority patient safety concepts to improve learning about patient safety.
