The book takes an international perspective citing research and practice from the UK, US, Europe, Australasia and other countries. The book will be valuable for clinical staff who want to understand patient safety and make their own unit safer; patient safety managers, risk managers, medical directors; policy makers seeking to understand the risks posed by their healthcare systems; students and doctors and nurses in training.
