Safer Primary Care: A shared responsibility for system-wide learning
7th March 2017 - 8th March 2017
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Manchester Conference Centre, 78 Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3NJ. United Kingdom.
What is the event about?
Patient safety is a topic frequently covered in the news, yet the majority of research to date has taken place in secondary care settings, such as hospitals. With primary care accounting for 85 percent of patient contact with the NHS, the NIHR Greater Manchester PSTRC aims to redress this balance, focusing exclusively on researching patient safety in primary care settings, such as general practice and community pharmacy.
A number of interventions have emerged and these, alongside the latest research into primary care patient safety, will be explored through plenaries, parallel sessions, workshops and a poster exhibition.
Who should attend?
Primary care and patient safety researchers and PhD students are encouraged to attend, as well as healthcare professionals who will benefit from hearing about and discussing new interventions to help make primary care safer.
