Open Access to patient safety education articles at "Education for Primary Care"
The
Education for Primary Care journal has obtained free permanent open access for all WONCA members to five key and most informative leading articles on education for patient safety in primary care. These were commissioned from Paul Bowie, Programme Director (Safety & Improvement) - NHS Education for Scotland and published serially last year.
This is most apt as the Council of the WONCA Working Party on Rural Practice has just highlighted, at its meeting at the WONCA World Rural conference in Cairns, the importance of working globally across WONCA World to ensure patient safety.
These articles are written by experts in their subjects and offer truly helpful knowledge and advice. They cover such important areas of training. I am most grateful to Paul Bowie for recognising this and offering the funds to make them widely available.
