Pharmacists and patient safety: Building safer care with patients

As health care systems grow increasingly complex, pharmacists are key members of the patient care team. This webinar, in collaboration with the World Patients Alliance, will explore how pharmacists contribute to safer care through medication management, patient empowerment, and interprofessional collaboration. It will also highlight the patient perspective by showing how patients and families contribute to safer medication use through shared decision-making, early reporting of concerns, health literacy, and partnerships with pharmacists and other health professionals. Pharmacists’ expertise in disease prevention and patient-centred care is increasingly vital, highlighting the importance of teamwork and shared decision-making in achieving safer and more effective treatment outcomes for the patients.
