As we all know, Patient Safety remains an urgent global public health issue, pertinent to all health systems around the world.
Among the most important advances in recent years, the WHO’s publication of the first Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030 stands out, a roadmap that is expected to guide member countries in making decisions and implementing different strategies and measures with the aim of safeguarding the safety of care as a central axis of health policies.
The 2023 summit in Montreux marked another milestone in the series. It focused on implementing known measures and interventions. This is crucial to overcome the so-called implementation gap to further advance in strengthening patient safety .
The Chile 2024 Summit will delve into how different countries have managed to implement and sustain over time different strategies related to delivering safe health care in the framework of the 7 strategic objectives of the Global Patient Safety Action Plan, key lessons learned in the implementation process, results obtained and upcoming challenges, with the aim of gathering this knowledge and transforming it into national commitments to address concrete actions. This is why the summit 2024 will follow the overarching slogan of “Bringing and maintaining changes in patient safety policies and practices”.

In 2014 Seth Goodburn died from pancreatic cancer 33 short and heart-breaking days after his diagnosis. Seth wanted to die at home but sadly he died in an acute hospital because the system, processes and procedures constrained the ability of healthcare staff to deliver person and family centred care.
For the last 10 years Lesley Goodburn has worked to share Seth's Story to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer, highlight the need for good psychosocial care and to improve end of life care. In the 10th anniversary year of Seth's death Lesley and colleagues provide an update on each of those areas and to launch a new educational resource which are letters that Lesley wrote to the staff involved in Seth's care six months after Seth died.
These letters will give you the opportunity to reflect on your role in a patient and families journey through palliative and end of life care and you will be invited to reflect and write a letter back to Lesley and Seth
Learning outcomes for participants:
Understanding Pancreatic Cancer: Gain a comprehensive understanding of pancreatic cancer, its signs and symptoms, and the patient’s journey from diagnosis to end of life. This includes learning from Seth’s story and the experiences of other patients like Claire and Bradley. Delivering Person and Family-Centred Care: Understand the importance of delivering person and family-centred care, as highlighted by Seth’s experience. Learn about the healthcare systems, processes, and procedures that can either support or constrain the delivery of such care. Psychosocial Support for Patients and Carers: Learn about the need for good psychosocial care for pancreatic cancer patients and their carers. This includes understanding findings from the carer’s perspective at the end of life and the available support for patients and carers. End-of-Life Care: Gain insights into the best practices for end-of-life care, including effective communication about cancer and care in the last hours of life. Learn from the work on cancer conversations and understand how to support patients in their final days. Grief and Bereavement: Understand the process of grief and bereavement, including the impact of the Covid pandemic on bereavement. Learn about the UK bereavement commission and how to support individuals through their grief. These outcomes provide a holistic view of the patient’s journey, emphasising the importance of person-centred care, psychosocial support, and effective communication at the end of life. A reflective letter-writing exercise will further deepen the understanding and empathy of healthcare professionals towards their patients and their families.
