European conference and platform for patient safety best practices

European Patient Safety Foundation (EUPSF) is an independent foundation, uniting experts and leading organisations to drive patient safety forward across Europe.

Every year, in addition to other campaigns and actions , EUPSF organises a conference dedicated to patient safety key issues and latest developments.

Our conferences aim to:

Strengthen and empower the network of leading organisations and individuals across Europe striving for the improvement of patient safety and quality of care;

Bridge the gap between the European and the local dimension, to bring out common challenges, best practices and ways of cooperation.

These conferences are organised in collaboration with local organisations active in the field of patient safety. In 2025, EUPSF has the pleasure to collaborate with The German Coalition for Patient Safety – Aktionsbündnis Patientensicherheit e.V. (APS) and TUM Klinikum Rechts der Isar.

THIS YEAR THEME
Rethinking patient safety: Evolving roles and responsibilities in a changing healthcare landscape

Healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by digital innovation. At the same time, rising demand for care, workforce shortages, and new medical advancements are reshaping how healthcare is organized and delivered. Traditional patient safety approaches, focused on detecting and analyzing risks after they occur, have been instrumental in improving care. However, in a system that is transforming so rapidly, patient safety must evolve to anticipate risks and accompany change, rather than react to it. Strengthening past efforts remains essential, but new strategies are needed to ensure safety is proactively embedded into every shift in healthcare delivery.

These changes are fundamentally reshaping roles and responsibilities within healthcare settings. As automation and data-powered solutions support decision-making, professionals must adapt to new ways of working while ensuring that human oversight remains central to patient safety. The introduction of new treatments, technologies, and care models, such as patient-centered and home-based care, requires continuous adjustments in safety practices. At the same time, workforce shortages are driving task redistribution among healthcare professionals, often beyond traditional professional boundaries, introducing new categories of risks. While hospital managers work to address pressing challenges like workforce retention, cybersecurity, financial balance, and sustainability, fully embedding patient safety into these strategic decisions remains difficult, even though doing so could enhance overall resilience and provide long-term solutions.

This conference will not only focus on risks but also on solutions: how to anticipate rather than react, how to leverage innovation without increasing complexity, and how to support those who carry the responsibility for safety every day. By bringing together all key stakeholders, we aim to reposition patient safety as an adaptable, forward-looking priority in healthcare systems that are constantly evolving.
