Canadian Patient Safety Week (CPSW) is fast approaching, taking place from October 28 to November 1. The provision of safe and high-quality care is a top priority at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. We are continuously evaluating our current practices and looking at opportunities for improvement.

When it comes to patient safety, recognizing and minimizing harm is crucial, which aligns with this year’s theme for CPSW: Health Care Harm. It is important to recognize that health care harm extends far beyond physical injuries. With this in mind, what types of harm currently exist within our health care setting? Why does health care harm occur? What is the impact on those receiving and delivering care? How can we prevent it? These are the types of questions that we will explore further during CPSW.

Please join the various activities throughout CPSW, as described in the daily schedule below in the poster below.

All staff are welcome to all events.
