Association of Anaesthesiologists and Intensivists of Malta

12/11/2025

The Association of Anaesthetists and Intensivists of Malta (AAIM) successfully organised 2 well-attended ESAIC Advanced Patient Safety Courses (APSC), which were held on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th and Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October 2025 in Malta. We were honoured to welcome Professor Benedikt Preckel as part of the international faculty, alongside with Dr. Stephanie Mifsud.

This 1.5-day in-person course, organised in collaboration between the ESAIC and the AAIM, is designed to equip healthcare professionals with practical tools to enhance patient safety in acute care settings. The course offers a unique opportunity for case-based learning, peer-to-peer exchange, and the development of real-world strategies for improving clinical practice.

The APSC is aimed at all healthcare professionals working in or interested in patient safety within acute settings, including Intensive Care, Perioperative Care, Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine, and related disciplines. This course allows attendees to:
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of patient safety culture in acute care
· Learn tools for error analysis, critical incident reporting, and system improvement
· Explore the impact of human factors and team dynamics on clinical outcomes
· Gain the knowledge and skills to champion patient safety initiatives within your organisation

Special thanks to Small Initiatives Support Scheme by the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector and Medina Healthcare for the financial support allowing this project to take place.

Happy World Anaesthesia Day!

World anaesthesia day is celebrated every year on 16th October in commemoration of the 1st ever anaesthetic on 16th October 1846.

We were at Mater Dei Hospital raising awareness about our work in hospital, and helping patients and healthcare professionals understand what we do as anaesthesiologists and intensivists.

There will be a short feature about us and world anaesthesia day on TVM at 8pm today.
