Join us for an engaging World Patient Safety Day webinar focused on how clinical pathological pathways play a vital role in ensuring safe, effective care for every newborn and child.
This year’s World Patient Safety Day webinar focuses on the critical role of pathology in paediatric and neonatal patient safety. Through compelling case studies, we will showcase both effective and flawed examples of pathology pathways, highlighting how these systems can directly impact early diagnosis, treatment and long-term outcomes for newborns and children.
When: Tuesday 16 September 2025, 1-2pm GMT
Where: Zoom webinar
1 CPD point is available (self-accredited)

About World Patient Safety Day
World Patient Safety Day was launched by the World Health Organization in 2019. It is held annually on 17 September and aims to promote global awareness and action to enhance patient safety. It’s a moment to reflect, not just on what can go wrong in healthcare, but on what we can all do to prevent harm, reduce risk and learn from errors.
Each year’s theme focuses on a critical area of healthcare safety. This year, the theme is ‘safe care for every newborn and every child’. In this context, pathology plays a central role in timely, accurate diagnoses and appropriate interventions.
