Event Review: Canadian Patient Safety Week (Sept 29 – Oct 4, 2008)

Theme: KNOWLEDGE IS THE BEST MEDICINE. ASK. TALK. LISTEN.

Twenty-nine Manitobans registered with the Canadian Patient Safety Institute for Canadian Patient Safety Week (CPSW) as leaders.

The Manitoba Institute for patient Safety is aware of at least 60 CPSW activities that were planned in all regional health authorities in Manitoba. Many of these activities focused on the public as being key to improving medication safety. Public service announcements, a planners’ guide, display banners, tent cards, display boards and tools such as the Institute’s newly released Medication Card, bus ads, and radio ads related to medication safety were created and disseminated.

We thank all our leaders and all participants for making the week a success!
