Events & Forums

If you are looking for the essential conference for patient safety professionals, you need look no further than the NPSF Annual Patient Safety Congress. For 14 years, NPSF has been sponsoring this two-day conference–the only event of its kind dedicated to patient safety.

Other big events on our annual calendar include the Lucian Leape Institute Annual Forum & Gala, which brings together the members of the Foundation’s think tank with patient safety and health professionals from across the spectrum of care, and Patient Safety Awareness Week, a national education and awareness-building campaign for improving patient safety at the local level.

Resources

NPSF resources for health care professionals include Patientsafety-L, a moderated online discussion forum; publications and white papers; and links to tools to share with your patients.
