European Patient Safety Course
In connection with the Euroanaesthesia 2010, an extracurricular course will be offered by the ESA Subcommittee Patient Safety in collaboration with international faculty.
European Patient Safety Course (EPSC) - One-day
The one-day post graduate European Patient Safety Course (EPSC) provides you with a very intensive insight into how errors evolve in medicine, what the root-causes are and how patient safety can be improved on a systematic level.
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.
Interactive parts and an audience response system (voting) will ensure your active participation. Printed handout material and access to a course resource website will help you sustaining your new knowledge.
Date, time and location
The EPSC takes place just before the Euroanaesthesia meeting at the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre.
The course is 8 hours, split in two parts before the Euroanaesthesia 2010:
- Friday 11th June 14:00 to 18:00 (Part 1)
- Saturday 12th June 8:00 to 12:00 (Part 2)
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. The course gives you also the unique opportunity to exchange and network with colleagues from all over Europe.
Initiated by Marcus Rall.
Planned by ESA Subcommittee 17 Patient Safety (Sven Staender, Marcus Rall, Francois Clergue, Doris Østergaard, Tanja Manser, Ravi Mahajan, Filippo Bressan) and Maurice Lamy, Sven Eric Gisvold, Lazlo Vimlati, Andrew Smith and Peter Dieckmann.
Participation in this course is not included in the Euroanaesthesia registration fee and space is limited.
