Patient safety
The Network cares about patient safety and is committed to providing safe care. In other words, it ensures that everyone directly or indirectly involved in your health care is accountable and takes the necessary steps to protect you against the risk of errors. The Network has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure the provision of safe care.
Patient safety is everyone's responsibility. Improving the quality and safety of health care is a shared responsibility between health professionals and patients.
