International Council of Nurses<br />

The International Council of Nurses is pleased to have contributed to the development<br />

of the <strong>WHO</strong> <strong>Patient</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Curriculum</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>: Multi-professional Edition,<br />

which provides a common platform for health-care practitioners to address this important<br />

issue.<br />

Nurses around the world have a major role to play in improving patient safety. Whilst<br />

individual professionals have a duty to ensure practice does no harm, increasingly<br />

care is being delivered by teams. Working from this comprehensive resource facilitates<br />

team work and provides a common knowledge base that also offers flexibility<br />

for each discipline to make its unique contribution. In addition, this guide raises<br />

awareness of the need to integrate patient safety into the curriculum of all health<br />

professionals.<br />
