Through practical examples and reflective strategies, participants will learn how to develop a proactive risk mindset, strengthen communication, and embed continuous quality improvement within their practice. This session will support pharmacists in improving patient safety, reducing the likelihood of incidents, and enhancing professional confidence in a changing practice landscape. Learning Objectives: - Identify common areas of risk in pharmacy practice. - Discuss ways to assess and minimise risk. - Recognise how governance and reflection support safer practice.
