Theme: Embracing the new normal – repositioning patient safety in the era of COVID-19
Patient Safety, now a virtual event is the only congress within the region that integrates multiple disciplines relating to patient safety, healthcare epidemiology, public health, risk management and infection control and prevention
The world’s healthcare system faces an unprecedented challenge and an uncertain future due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. As a result, the 2020 edition of the Patient Safety Congress will now be a fully virtual event titled Patient Safety - The COVID-19 Virtual Edition.
This event, which usually takes place in Dubai annually, is still the only congress within the region that integrates multiple disciplines relating to patient safety, healthcare epidemiology, public health, risk management and infection control and prevention. These topics have never been more important or relevant, and we do not intend to keep our delegates hanging.
Join us this November when our agenda will connect healthcare leaders and practitioners worldwide while sharing best practice and driving patient safety in the new normal.
