First Post

Welcome. The purpose of this blog is to share the latest happenings, events, news in the area of patient safety to an Irish audience. There are many healthcare workers interested in and committed to improving safety and quality in Irish healthcare, but they are faced with numerous problems in trying to develop their expertise and interest, including a disempowering management structure, lack of awareness of others in the system with similar interests and an absence of training in the area of the Science of Improvement.

I hope to post on a regular basis, and include news, links, ideas etc in order to stimulate discussion about patient safety.
