🫶World Patient Safety Day🤝
🗓️September 17th
The work of Medical Scientists is at the core of patient care; our role is essential ensuring accurate and timely diagnoses directly impacting patient outcomes. This year, World Patient Safety Day on September 17th highlights the theme of “Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety,” drawing attention to the critical need for precision and collaboration in the diagnostic process.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment and care, and medical scientists working at the intersection of technology, research, and clinical practice, are pivotal in reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient outcomes. Our expertise in laboratory medicine is essential to delivering reliable diagnostic information, which supports clinicians in making informed decisions for patient care.
We encourage all members of the Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine to take an active role in promoting patient safety by raising awareness about the importance of accurate diagnosis, sharing best practices within your laboratories, and supporting this year’s global initiative to advance patient safety through better diagnostic practices.
