Medication Safety Conference 2025

Culture, Collaboration, and Change: Building Safer Medication Systems Together

November 13, 2025 I 12:00 – 4:30 PM I Live Virtual-Only Event

MPSC Members: FREE I Non-Members: $299

Medication safety is a team sport, and every team member matters. From bedside to boardroom, from pharmacy to pump manufacturer, the safety of patients depends on how well we work together across roles, disciplines, and industries.

Join us for this dynamic half-day virtual conference designed to engage the full spectrum of professionals committed to safer medication use. Through real-world examples drawn from inpatient acute care—and applicable across all care settings—you’ll explore how system design, safety culture, and cross-sector collaboration can reduce harm and build more resilient medication systems.

Whether you’re a pharmacist, nurse, physician, quality leader, or industry partner—vendor, manufacturer, or technology innovator—you play a critical role. Together, we’ll challenge conventional silos, share lessons learned, and spark conversations that lead to meaningful change.

Let’s reimagine what’s possible—because medication safety is everyone’s responsibility.

You’ll learn:

Why medication safety should not be relegated to medication safety officers and pharmacists; breaking the silo is essential for preventing errors.
How to engage non-traditional stakeholders in meaningful safety work.

While virtual, the conference is designed to foster meaningful dialogue through interactive Q&A, live polling, and facilitated chat discussions—offering vendors and manufacturers an authentic window into the real-world needs and priorities of their healthcare partners. Together, we can advance safer, smarter medication systems.

Join us and be part of the change. Because when medication safety becomes a shared mission, patients are safer, outcomes improve, and teams thrive.
