Patient Safety Research Conference

24-26 September 2007, Porto, Portugal
The aim of this conference is to promote research on patient safety in Europe and internationally. It will have significant benefits to patients, practitioners and researchers, and contribute to improvements in quality of health care and citizen health.

Patient Safety Research Conference is focusing on the future of patient safety research in Europe. The conference aims to provide a scientific forum to:

  • Describe current research in patient safety and allied fields
  • Demonstrate for policy makers where evidence from research can inform policy
  • Build proposals for future research and a Europe-wide research agenda
  • Create international collaborative research networks

The conference will enable participation particularly of researchers and policy-makers from European and European neighbouring countries (including Eastern Europe, Balkans and Mediterranean ).

The programme, over three days, will explore existing research activity in Europe, and develop capacity for future research, using innovative events including café discussions, science workshops, discussion of posters and plenary sessions. The conference will promote dialogue between researchers and policy-makers and seek on the final day to make conclusions for further action.

Registration for the conference is free of charge but attendance is by invitation only from the Conference Advisory Committee. Please register your interest in attending.

The conference is organised by the UK Faculty of Public Health, University College London and the WHO World Alliance for Patient Safety.
