Today we highlight the critical importance of safety measures in clinical trials. Ensuring patient safety isn't just a responsibility—it's a cornerstone of ethical and effective medical research. Clinical trials pave the way for new treatments and innovations, but without stringent safety protocols, progress can come at a cost. As we observe World Patient Safety Day, let's remember that safeguarding the well-being of participants is essential to advancing healthcare for all. #PatientSafety #ClinicalTrials #WorldPatientSafetyDay

🌟 World Patient Safety Day: The Critical Impact of Safeguarding Participants 🌟 As we celebrate World Patient Safety Day, it’s vital to highlight the serious consequences of neglecting patient safety in clinical trials. At TASK, we understand that even minor oversights can lead to major repercussions—ranging from harmful side effects and stalled studies to eroded public trust in medical research. The stakes are incredibly high: compromised safety not only endangers lives but also hinders essential medical progress. A single lapse can affect the entire research process, impacting future studies and the broader healthcare landscape. That’s why our commitment to safety is unwavering. We embed stringent protocols at every step, from informed consent to continuous monitoring, to ensure every participant is protected and every study is conducted with the highest level of care. This World Patient Safety Day, let’s underscore that achieving safety is not just important—it’s imperative.

What are the patient safety risks when physician associates (PAs) work beyond their scope? Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP spoke to Helen Hughes from Patient Safety Learning about the concerns about the lack of clarity for patients, need for regulation and supervision for PAs. In the interview, Dr Qasim talks about recent survey data on how PAs are working beyond their scope and the potential patient safety concerns. Watch the full interview: https://hubs.la/Q02XWRG_0

Electronic health records can enable patient safety or put it at risk. A new report from Patient Safety Learning outlines 10 principles for putting patient safety at the heart of implementations of electronic patient records. While the report comes from a UK context, the issues and principles have international relevance. Scroll through the principles below or read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/efg7DTqB

Error reduction in clinical laboratory Did you know that a significant portion of laboratory errors happen before the actual testing even begins? 🤯 The preanalytical phase is often overlooked, but it's the cornerstone of accurate results. From test ordering to specimen collection, every step matters.By prioritizing error reduction in this phase, we can improve patient safety, boost efficiency, and enhance overall lab performance.Let’s work together to build a stronger healthcare system through quality laboratory practices. #preanalyticalphase #errorreduction #clinicallaboratory #qualityimprovement #healthcare #labprofessionals #Siemenshealthineers

Patient safety and in general, patient-centricity, should always be at the core of your clinical research study. At Advanced Clinical, the patient is at the heart of all we do, and it drives us to be a better provider of clinical research services for the sponsors and partners we work with. David Turner, Senior Director of Global Safety Services, reflects on Patient Safety Awareness Week and why it's important to him. #clinicalresearch #safety #patientsafety #clinicaltrial #safertogether
