Take an interprofessional team approach to improving patient safety skills, planning patient safety education, and aligning with quality improvement initiatives in your organization.

The Patient Safety Education Program – Canada (PSEP – Canada) is a 2.5-day educational event that certifies members of interprofessional teams as patient safety trainers. Designed to help you strengthen internal capacity and grow quality improvement and patient safety initiatives, it is built on a train-the-training-team model that provides a peer-to-peer education framework.

With an emphasis on creativity and excellence in educational techniques, the PSEP – Canada conference is delivered by well-respected quality and patient safety healthcare professionals and educators from across Canada and focuses on:

• Applying human factors in the workplace
• Scientific methods for improving safety
• Organizational culture and dealing with change
• Understanding teamwork
• Moving beyond blame to systems thinking
• How to teach and implement patient safety

Interprofessional teams should include:

• A physician, a nurse or other allied health professional, and an administrator responsible for quality and patient safety

• A senior executive from the organization, who is required to sponsor the team and to attend a half-day executive track during the last day of the education session (remote attendance is offered)
