Canadian Patient Safety Week
What Shapes Safer Care?
Sometimes it's a conversation that helps someone feel heard. Sometimes it's teamwork during a transition in care. Sometimes it's asking a question, speaking up or taking time to listen. This Canadian Patient Safety Week, we're reflecting on the everyday moments that shape safety – and how every moment counts.
Join people across Canada during Canadian Patient Safety Week (CPSW) as we reflect, learn and explore what shapes safer care – and the role each of us plays in creating it together.

How-To Guide to Patient Safety
Discover how racism experienced by First Nations, Inuit and Métis affects safety and how we can take action to improve cultural safety in care. Through practical tools, reflection activities and discussion opportunities, this self-paced module will help you recognize racism in healthcare interactions, systems and structures, and identify actions you can take to foster culturally safer care.
