Preventable Medical Errors: The Role of Different Sciences in Medical Education and Practice addresses the issues of staying up to date with evolving medical practices, by providing practical examples linked to real-world patient safety concerns and illustrating theoretical discussions with clear clinical practice scenarios. The book is divided into two sections, Part 1 - How Did It Come To This? and Part 2 - Where Does It Go From Here?; which guide the reader through how we got here historically and how we can navigate our way out using the tools the author presents. Thus paving the way, bridging a gap between theory and practice, while emphasizing the importance of patient safety.
