Join us for Open Webinar: Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety on Tuesday, 17 September, from 16:00 to 18:00 CEST.

The European Commission encourages all projects funded under the topic "Enhancing quality of care and patient safety" to participate in networking and joint activities, including workshops and exchanging knowledge.

On this occasion, taking advantage of the significant opportunity presented by the World Day for Patient Safety, the consortia of these projects have organised this online session to reflect on the importance and strategies for improving diagnosis for patient safety under the slogan "Get it right, make it safe!".

The primary aim of this session is to encourage researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to adopt and promote effective strategies for achieving accurate and timely diagnoses in the areas addressed by the participating projects, which include perioperative care, prescription of benzodiazepines, polymedication, and oral care.

In accordance with the World Health Organisation's recommendations, this session will focus on sharing experiences, knowledge, and recommendations from the various projects' perspectives to address the following questions:

1. What is the importance of diagnostic errors in the areas covered by the project?

2. What are the crucial steps to understand the diagnostic process?

3. What types of solutions, interventions, and recommendations are available to promote safe diagnosis?

4. How can different stakeholders contribute to reducing diagnostic errors?

A summary of the joint recommendations will be shared after the session via email or social networks.
