Learning from International Networks about Errors and Understanding Safety in Primary Care (LINNEAUS EURO-PC)
The Linneaus Euro-PC collaboration is a co-ordination action funded by the European Union Framework 7 programme. It will seek to address the deficit in activity related to patient safety in primary care and the primary care/secondary care interface in the European Union.
Through building a network of researchers into a pan European network, this co-ordination action will extend the current knowledge and experience from countries where the importance of patient safety is nationally recognised to countries where it is less developed, ensure that there is an appropriate focus on primary care and encourage co-operation and collaboration for future interventions through large scale trials. The project is organised into nine Work Packages, with different Partners leading on these.
