The world lost a tireless patient safety advocate. Robin was a powerful voice and she will be deeply missed. We will need to pick up her torch and continue to carry it in her legacy and according to her example. Thank you, Robin. Robin McGee

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay with the theme "Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety". Inaccurate and delayed diagnoses create long-term and potentially tragic outcomes for people and families. I have friends who have lost loved ones or lost their own life due to these issues.

It was good to be back to the Fanshawe College Pharmacy Technician program to share my story and work. This cohort was enthusiastic, had lots of questions and engaged in good conversation about #medicationsafety and #safetyculture. #Andrewslivinglegacy
