Working
to improve patient
safety along the journey
before, during,
and after surgery.

About
the project

SAFEST is an ambitious 4-year project funded under the new cycle of the EU’s framework for research and innovation, Horizon Europe.

When considering surgical safety, SAFEST will look at the entire journey before, during, and after surgery (often referred to as perioperative safety and care). Especially considering how several studies have shown that most adverse events linked to surgery occur outside the operating room.

Our project seeks to play a decisive role in improving patient safety and it will do so by (1) identifying and agreeing on a unified set of perioperative practices based on evidence, and (2) promoting their implementation across Europe involving healthcare professionals, patients, and other stakeholders.

Join Our EU-Funded Project to Enhance Patient Safety in Perioperative Care

We are excited to invite hospitals across Europe and beyond to participate in an innovative, EU-funded project dedicated to improving patient safety practices throughout the perioperative journey.

This initiative offers an opportunity for your institution to be at the forefront of enhancing care quality and safeguarding patient outcomes.

We welcome hospitals of all sizes and specialisations. Your contribution can make a real difference in shaping safer practices and improving the overall quality of care worldwide.
