About the Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in Community pharmacies
The Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group provides a forum for community pharmacy organisations, competitors in a commercial sense, to openly share and learn from each other when things go wrong, as well as from other sectors and industries. They are a self-funded, self-created Group with a difference.
