We are celebrating Human Rights Day. The theme, "Our Everyday Essentials," reminds us that are essential and achievable elements that guarantee our safety and dignity.
For older adults👩‍🦳👵👴, this means the right to safe treatment for sleep problems, free from the long-term risks of sleeping pills.

✅ Our Mission: Implement a patient-centred intervention to reduce severe risks (falls, cognitive decline) and ensure Health, Dignity, and Safety in care.

Safety in healthcare is a non-negotiable pillar of human dignity.

✅ Translate research into accessible resources and guidance

The EU BE-SAFE project was featured on🎙️ through the participation of Fernández a specialist in patient engagement in research and Spanish coordinator of the project. In the 'Diga-li Ciència' programme, she spoke about the BE-SAFE project and the importance of deprescribing and reducing the use of sleeping pills, hypnotic sedatives, and Z-drugs (BZRA)💊 in older adults with sleep problems😴

🎤During the interview, she explained that BE-SAFE is currently being implemented in six European countries. She also highlighted the need to train healthcare professionals 👩‍⚕️and empower patients and caregivers, but also engaged researchers and policymakers to apply this knowledge and promote safer, more patient-centred care.

At BE-SAFE, we believe knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone.
That’s why all our publishable datasets will be stored on OSF https://f.mtr.cool/ssippzjjfg a trusted, GDPR-compliant, and European Commission–approved repository.

🧪 Along with the data, we’ll share all the key documentation needed to validate analyses and make data re-use easy for the research and healthcare community.

By opening up our research, BE-SAFE provides valuable evidence on reducing the use of benzodiazepines, sedative-hypnotics and Z-drugs (BZRA) for sleep problems in older adults, and empowers professionals and policymakers to use this knowledge for safer patient care.

💡 Open knowledge saves lives.
When research is accessible, everyone benefits.
