Patient Safety in Surgery - a new journal from BioMed Central

We are pleased to announce the launch of Patient Safety in Surgery, a new open access, independent journal, which covers all aspects of safety and quality of patient care in surgery and surgical subspecialties.

Morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgical procedures may largely be preventable. The key to improving the management of adverse events in surgery is understanding their causes. Patient Safety in Surgery aims to provide a scientific platform for specialists from all surgical fields, and other healthcare professionals to report, discuss, debate, and critically review all aspects related to errors, complications, and other safety issues in the management of patients undergoing surgical procedures.

Professor Philip Stahel (Denver Health Medical Center, University of Colorado School of Medicine) and Professor Pierre-Alain Clavien (University Hospital Zurich) Editors-in-Chief of Patient Safety in Surgery, are supported by an international Editorial Board.
