Safety & Quality Committee

The Safety and Quality Committee promotes the highest standards of safety and quality in anaesthesia globally, providing support across the full range of WFSA programmes. 

Key Committee Aims:

  • Foster safe and high-quality anaesthesia practice in all WFSA Member Societies. 
  • Ensure effective communication in innovative practices, having considered the financial and social constraints that may prevent their adoption by all Member Societies. 
  • Develop partnerships with other organisations that share our values regarding safety and quality. 
  • Seek new methods to implement safe practices throughout the world. 
  • Seek funding and support for WFSA activities relating to safety and quality, and work to expand those activities. 
  • Promote, support, and organise activities for World Patient Safety Day (17 September).
