Welcome to the web site of the Nordic Research Network for Safety and Quality in Healthcare (NSQH)

The Network was formed in 2008 and had its most recent meeting at the 1st Nordic Patient Safety Conference in Stockholm (Saltsjöbaden) May 2010 [www.npsc.se].

At the Saltsjöbaden meeting it was agreed that the purpose of the Network is

• to promote and advance safety research concerning the health care sector in the Nordic countries
• to facilitate collaboration on research and application of research results among our countries and among research institutions and clinical settings
• to work towards attracting research funding for patient safety and quality domain, possibly via the establishment of a Nordic research agenda

Participants expressed their intention to begin establishing national research networks in countries where such a network does not exist.

The coordination of Network activities will circulate among the Nordic countries, one year at a time, beginning with Sweden for 2010. The Swedish coordination is carried out by the Patient Safety Unit at KTH Kungliga Tekniska högskolan/ Royal Institute of Technology, School of Technology and Health www.kth.se/en/sth

The web site is hosted at the Danish Technical University (DTU Management: Healthcare Group) and is maintained in collaboration with the Danish Research Network (www.fpks.dk).
