Press Release
October 29, 2024
The Department of Health encourages Nunavummiut to join us in recognizing Canadian Patient Safety Week from October 28 to November 1, 2024. This year’s theme is Rethinking Patient Safety with the goal to promote important conversations about safe and culturally safe care with Nunavummiut and health care workers.
Patient safety is key to a positive healthcare experience. It is a shared responsibility, requiring patients, families, and providers to work together to reduce risks, address biases, and create a safer care environment. Canadian Patient Safety Week is a chance to reflect on all aspects of safety at our health centres – physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual – and how together, they create safer healthcare in Nunavut.
Here are three actions you can do that can have a positive impact on your health care experience:
The Department of Health is excited to join all Nunavummiut and health staff in recognizing Canadian Patient Safety Week.
