20th Annual Northwest Patient Safety Conference: “Bringing Patient Safety to Life”

We’re excited to collaborate with the Washington Patient Safety Coalition and Health Quality BC to present the 20th Annual Northwest Patient Safety Conference (NWPSC) on October 17 and 18, 2023.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Bringing Patient Safety to Life: What’s worked, what hasn’t, and what to do about it” and brings a focus on solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves.

The NWPSC brings together hundreds of healthcare professionals, providers, students, patients, families, and caregivers from all care settings for networking and engaging in sessions with industry thought leaders and others invested in improving the patient experience. Register to attend the NWPSC!
