Patient safety and Medical Training

Patient safety and Medical Training

The capacity of health systems to deliver health services and meet the changing demands of care depends on the availability of a workforce with the right skills and flexibility. EU-wide activities in health workforce planning and forecasting support EU countries in building national capacities. Our members support high levels of specialist training as part of our commitment to patient safety and quality care. We invest consistently in continuous professional development so that the ophthalmology services of our respective national health systems are better equipped to respond to the major challenges that the EU is facing with the prevalence of eye diseases in an ageing population.

The ongoing commitment of our members to education, excellence and innovation is demonstrated by:
– evaluating knowledge and expertise through certification programmes in each subspecialty;
– providing funding for training, identify training sites and facilitating access to fellowship and residents’ programmes;
– creating innovative tools and resources including online educational portals that transfer new knowledge into clinical practice.
– launching international journals to promote the study and learning of the science and practice of all matters related to the health and management of the eye as an organ and as part of the patient as a whole.

 

Joining the call on medical training for patient safety
