Our patient safety bulletins are designed to help members learn from issues and implications across organisations, facilitating effective knowledge-sharing to improve patient safety. Consolidating themes across a range of pathology specialties and services, these bulletins offer opportunities to reflect on personal practices, and to learn from the experiences of others.
By sharing knowledge and experiences through case studies, our members contribute to the collective understanding and improvement of patient safety practices in pathology. Members are encouraged to submit their own patient safety cases, which can be a valuable learning tool and a means to earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits.
