Members of the Patient Safety Improvement Group meet annually to share ideas and innovations that focus on improving the safety and quality of care within their health services.

The goals of the group are to:
  • Improve patient safety across Australia and New Zealand
  • Reduce hospital acquired complications 
  • Identify “exemplar performers” across the patient safety space
  • Share innovations in practices with an aim to improve patient experience and outcomes

The 2020 meeting theme will be confirmed in Early 2020 workshop Dates 14th and 15th October in Brisbane.
