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 />
Dr Rosemary Bryant<br />
