Recent years have placed extraordinary demands on healthcare professionals. As clinicians navigate evolving evidence and complex workflows, the burden of unsafe care continues to impact the most vulnerable: newborns and young children.
This year’s World Patient Safety Day theme, “Patient safety from the start!”, calls for early and consistent safety measures to prevent harm and lay the foundation for lifelong health. At Elsevier, we help advance science and healthcare to advance human progress. By providing trusted clinical content, mission-critical insights, and innovative technologies, we empower healthcare professionals to deliver safer, more effective care from the very first moment.
Hear expert insights on how to strengthen and prioritize patient safety
As healthcare demands grow, clinicians are under increasing pressure to deliver safe, effective care, often with limited time and resources. The Clinician of the Future 2025 report revealed that 28% of clinicians think they don’t have time to deliver care and 69% stating they are seeing more patients now than they were two years ago, Almost half (46%) also state that tiredness has impaired their ability to treat patients effectively. Below, clinical leaders share their perspectives on how trusted knowledge and collaborative care can help protect children and elevate safety standards for every patient.
"Infants, children and adolescents are uniquely vulnerable to medical errors. Their ever-changing age, size, and developmental stages pose challenges in accurate diagnosis and effective management. Utilizing trusted resources is vital to ensure the safest and most effective care for even our tiniest patients. As our medical understanding grows and the tools we use evolve, so too must our commitment to continuously improving clinical practice. Because every patient, at every age, deserves the highest standard of medical safety."
