Patient Safety and Quality Committee
The Patient Safety and Quality Committee strives to accomplish this vision as a dynamic international leader in Patient Safety and Quality for anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine and pain medicine.
Through fostering research in projects like the Helsinki Declaration Follow-Up project, disseminating the latest knowledge and Patient Safety strategies through its Safer Care to Save Lives Programme, Masterclasses and workshops, advocacy through leading the European Patient Safety Summit in 2020 and collaborating and networking with other societies, the Patient Safety and Quality Committee fulfils the ESAIC’s goal to improve perioperative patient outcomes in Europe and across the world.
