Every needle-stick injury carries a cost—exposure to life-threatening infections, emotional distress, and financial burden. It’s time to change that narrative. By adopting needle-free injection systems like N-FIS, we can protect the hands that heal, ensuring a safer, healthier future for healthcare workers and patients alike. Let’s safeguard our healthcare heroes—because every life matters. Note: The N-FIS product is CDSCO, CE, MDSAP, & ISO 13485 approved. #NeedleStickInjury #HealthcareSafety #Prevention #HealthcareHeroes #IntegriMedical #NeedleFreeInjections

"Get it right, make it safe!" This year the theme is “Improving diagnosis for patient safety” with the slogan “Get it right, make it safe!”, highlighting the critical importance of correct and timely diagnosis in ensuring patient safety and improving health outcomes. #IPSG #WHO #Patient_safety.

In recent weeks, my colleagues and I in the Medical Negligence Department at Cantillons were pleased to learn that the long awaited “Patient Safety (Notifiable Incidents and Open Disclosure) Act 2023”, has finally come into effect. In short, what this legislation means in practice for patients and/or their families is that specified serious patient safety incidents must, by law, be disclosed to the patient and/or their family by healthcare professionals, in what is commonly referred to in the legislation as an act of “open disclosure”. The Act also provides for the mandatory external notification of those same events to the appropriate body. This, we hope, will enable trends to be identified and for mistakes to be learned from, thereby improving patient safety overall. Read more about this legislation and my thoughts in the article I wrote below #Medicalnegligence #opendisclosure #Cantillons Solicitors

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared World Patient Safety Day to increase public awareness of patient safety issues and motivate nations and international partners to work together to prevent patient harm. "Improving diagnosis for patient safety" is the subject of World Patient Safety Day in 2024. Compromising with patient safety is never an option. #stahlmeisterhealth #patientsafety #patientsafetyday
