These aims are designed to promote new synergies in the implementation of Patient Safety policies, enabling the Spanish NHS to provide safer healthcare and enhanced healthcare quality. The 5 th International Conference on Patient Safety, titled: Healthcare associate infection and antimicrobial resistance will be held in Madrid on June 3-4 this year. The objective of this conference is to present international and national experiences in the prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The issues to be discussed at the Conference are the following: Interventions to address HCAI and AMR at national and international levels, as regards the experiences of different organisations (such as CDC, ECDC, EMEA, WHO and others) and some European countries. Experiences to promote the participation of professionals and citizens in the prevention and control of HCAI and AMR. Actions of the European Commission on Patient Safety and Quality of Healthcare. Research projects of the European Commission on Patient Safety. The conference will grant patients and patient organizations, healthcare professionals, health administrators and managers and institutional representatives the opportunity to share, discuss and reflect on all matters relating to Patient Safety, with a view to combining efforts in favour of safer healthcare and enhanced healthcare quality.
