Fellowship Application

The Patient Safety Movement Foundation offers a unique educational opportunity for healthcare professionals around the world to expand their knowledge in the theory and practice of patient safety. Building on the World Health Organisation Global Patient Safety Action Plan, the fellowship aims to develop future leaders particularly from Lower Middle. and Middle Income countries. We aim to have learners from all WHO regions as learners on the program and from any profession within or allied to healthcare.

The program combines a year-long curriculum developed by patient safety experts in a variety of areas, taught via monthly live virtual classroom sessions. Fellows complete monthly readings on specific topics, actively participate in discussions on the interpretation of theory and methods, and its implication to practice. Fellows submit monthly reflections on their learning as well as a longer reflection at the end of the fellowship.

Applied learning is achieved by completing a hands-on improvement project that explores and advances issues of patient safety in each fellow’s respective professional environment. Fellows are encouraged to publish the outcome of their project and present at conferences.

Our fellows are driven by a deep passion for patient safety, often sparked by first-hand encounters with patient harm events, and a desire to improve care outcomes in their home communities and workplace settings. They become part of a global social movement for patient and healthcare worker safety.
