Lucian Leape Patient Safety Fellowship

The Lucian Leape Patient Safety Fellowship Award was established in 2018 and was announced at ISQua's 35th International Conference in Kuala Lumpur. The objective is to support* physicians and healthcare leaders in developing countries, to advance and expand their expertise in patient safety, with the resultant improvement of the safety of patients in their local area.

 

Dr David Bates, on presenting the donation to then ISQua President Wendy Nicklin on behalf of Lucian Leape, said, "Lucian recognised that most of the harm that occurs, happens in developing and transitional countries and that there is a tremendous need to build capacity in these areas. From speaking fees and consulting, Lucian established a private foundation to support safety-related work. He has decided to close the foundation and is donating the remaining funds to establish the Lucian Leape Patient Safety Fellowship. This will be a one-year award that will support a fellow from a developing or transitional country who will complete the fellowship within their own country and will be mentored by a representative from ISQua."

 

*Enrolment in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) 2-year Master's Degree in Quality and Safety in Healthcare Management,or equivalent course to the maximum cost of €13,000 will be organised. Additional training and conference attendance may also be made available. The programme content is dependent on the professional interests and existing work commitments of the Fellow. There is no salary associated with this award.

 

Applications are now being accepted for our 2024 - 2026 Fellowship. Closing Date 15th March 2024.
