Anaesthesiologists have made remarkable contributions to patient safety in the past decades. The issues of patient safety in anaesthesia have been addressed sporadically during local meetings and to our knowledge, APSS 2023 is the only conference to be held in the country and possibly in this region dedicated to education and learning of anaesthesia patient safety.

APSS 2023 will bring together global and local leaders and practitioners committed to improving patient safety. Through sharing of safety-related news, ideas and opinions among the multi-disciplinary perioperative team members and other stakeholders, the patient safety may be further advanced to drive the best possible patient outcomes.
