Ten Tips for Safer Healthcare

NSW Health has produced the 10 Tips for Safer Health Care flyer for distribution to all NSW public hospitals.

The flyer is based on 10 Tips brochures and pamphlets developed by the former Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health (ACSQHC) (now the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare). The aim of these publications is to empower patients to become involved in decision making about their health care.

See the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare website for other booklets and summary sheets.
