· Self-Advocacy for Everyone (SAFE) Toolkit: http://www.safetoask.ca/safetoolkit/index.html

“The SAFE toolkit has information, tips and resources that can help people learn to be more involved in their healthcare.  It consists of key patient safety topics in summary and full version formats, and a Leader’s Guide.”

· Patient Safety: A Primer : http://www.mbips.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/v2-primer-final-oct-7-2011.pdf

Patient Safety: A Primer is a resource that can be used alone for information on patient safety basic concepts for healthcare providers and students, or as part of the Learn to be Safe resource (www.mbips.ca/wp/initiatives/learn-to-safe-a-simulation-learning-experience-rehearse-for-safety/).
