Recognizing the pivotal role that patients, their families and caregivers play in advancing safe care, the theme selected for World Patient Safety Day 2023 is “Engaging patients for patient safety” with the slogan “Elevate the voice of patients!”. Evidence shows that when patients are treated as partners in their care, significant gains are made in safety, patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
In commemoration of the day, WHO is organizing a Global Conference entitled “Engaging patients for patient safety” in Geneva, Switzerland. The conference offers a unique opportunity for diverse stakeholders to come together, share their experiences and discuss strategies for enhancing patient safety through patient engagement. The event seeks to foster collaboration, identify best practices, and pave the way for their widespread implementation across various healthcare settings.
The conference will feature:
- Patient and health worker stories and testimonies
- Panel discussions on patient and family engagement interventions by countries, partners and patient organizations
- Panel discussion on advancing patient safety in the human rights agenda
- Review of a draft Patient Safety Rights Charter by meeting participants
- Launch of WHO technical resources
Join us on 12 and 13 September to celebrate World Patient Safety Day 2023!
