The Royal Victoria Eye & Ear Hospital will be our venue for a knowledge exchange on Tuesday 8th September as we bring together medication safety specialists and other stakeholders from our network to discuss innovations that make patients safer.

A central feature of the event will be the introduction and practical exploration of the Building Blocks for Patient Safety framework, presented by Dr. Eileen Relihan (St. James’s Hospital) and Jennifer Hade (Tallaght University Hospital). Dr. Relihan and Ms. Hade will demonstrate how the Building Blocks can be embedded into Irish Hospital Pharmacies. With Dr. Callanan’s guidance, participants will translate these ideas into actionable improvement plans specific to their service environments.

The ever popular “pearls” presentations will be back this year, but with a twist! We hope to have two sessions where we choose the most impactful to bring forward to the All-Island Conference in Belfast in November.

Please save the date in your diary, and watch this space for more details.
