World Patient Safety Day

 

7 days to World Patient Safety Day 

It's just seven days until we celebrate World Patient Safety Day. Now is the time to ramp up the momentum to make sure our voice is heard on Tuesday 17th September.

Thank you to everyone who has been planning activities, creating content and spreading the word. Let's keep pushing the messages out so that together we speak with one loud voice for 'Patient Safety'.

Five ways you can show your support

1.  Use the letter template here to contact your national health ministry urging them to ensure successful implementation of patient safety.

We encourage you to use this targeted approach to contact your national health ministry urging them to prioritise patient safety as well as ensure successful implementation of the recommendations made in the WHO Director-General’s report on global action on patient safety.

2. Mobilise your network ahead of Tuesday 17th September

Make sure your contacts know about World Patient Safety Day. Send them a quick message letting them know how they can show their support. Feel free to adapt some of these 'five ways'.

3.  Spread the word by posting the key messages on Facebook and Twitter

Access the messages and graphics here and remember to use the hashtag #PatientSafety and #WorldPatientSafetyDay with your posts. Click here to send out a tweet right away.

4.  Share your World Patient Safety Day photos 

Whichever way you're marking WPSD, send us your best photo to illustrate what 'speaking up for patient safety' looks like for you and we will help you share them with the world through social media as a way of raising awareness. Please send your photos to rachel@iapo.org.uk

5.  Download and use the WHO patient safety resources

Reminder: Asia-Pacific Patients Congress

Don't miss the opportunity to learn, interact and engage with thought leaders, experts and high level professionals over two days at our first ever Asia-Pacific Patients Congress on the 13th – 14th November in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China).

In partnership with the Taiwan Alliance of Patients' Organizations and Psoriasis Association of Taiwan, the goal will be to prepare ourselves, as patient advocates, to take on the challenges and opportunities that will arise from increasing global harmonisation towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
