Patient safety is broadly acknowledged as a patient being free from any harm and/or accidental injuries during the course of receiving health care. This webinar will present the new FIP reference document Patient Safety: Pharmacists’ role in “Medications without harm” that outlines how pharmacists are essential healthcare professionals and are critical members of the whole healthcare team. Presentations from authors of the document will describe pharmacists’ work in varied settings such as community and hospital, industry and regulatory affairs and from different countries around the globe.
